Constantine P. Cavafy Cavafy, one of the most prominent Greek poets, was born on April 29, 1863 and died on the same date in 1933 in Alexandria (Egypt). Here's a short biographical note by the poet himself: I am from Constantinople by descent, but I was born in Alexandria at a house on Seriph Street; I left very young, and spent much of my childhood in England. Subsequently I visited this country as an adult, but for a short period of time. I have also lived in France. During my adolescence I lived over two years in Constantinople. It has been many years since I last visited Greece. My last employment was as a clerk at a government office under the Ministry of Public Works of Egypt. I know English, French, and a little Italian. Here are a few of my favorite poems by Cavafy, translated into English. I have included the Greek original, but you will need Greek fonts to view these properly. If you do not have Greek fonts, the Greek titles will look strange, but you will be able to view the English translation with no problems. Walls An old man Supplication Candles ...

2. Ars Gratia Artis From The Writings Of C. P. Cavafy A brief excerpt of prose by cavafy on the condition of being a poet. http://www.crocker.com/~lwm/cavafy.html

Ars Gratia Artis from the writings of C. P. Cavafy A young poet visited me," he wrote. "He was very poor, lived by his literary work, and it seemed to me that he was grieved to see the good house I was living in, my servant who brought him a nicely served tea, my clothes made by a good tailor. He said: what a horrible thing it is to have to struggle for a livelihood, to hunt subscribers your periodical, and purchasers for your book. I didn't want to leave him in his delusion, so I said a few words, more or less as follows. His position is difficult and disagreeable but how much my little luxuries cost me. In order to obtain them I departed from my natural course and became a government servant (how absurd!) and I spend and lose all those precious hours a day to which must be added the hours of weariness and sluggishness that follow what a loss, and what a betrayal! While this poor fellow doesn't waste a single hour; he's always faithful to his duty as a child of Art. How often during my work a fine idea comes to me, a rare image, and sudden ready-formed lines, and I'm obliged to leave them, because work can't be put off. Then when I go home and recover a bit, I try to remember them, but they're gone. And it's quite right. It's as if Art said to me: 'I'm not a servant, for you to turn me out when I come, and to come when you want. I'm the greatest lady in the world. And if you deny me miserable traitor for your wretched "nice house," and your wretched good clothes and your wretched social position, be content with that (but how can you?) and for the moments when I come and it happens that you're ready to receive me, come outside your door to wait for me, as you ought to every day.'

Cavafy Edited by George Savidis Translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard 304 pp. Shopping Cart Reviews C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) lived in relative obscurity in Alexandria, and a collected edition of his poems was not published until after his death. Now, however, he is regarded as the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. Here is an extensively revised edition of the acclaimed translations of Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard, which capture Cavafy's mixture of formal and idiomatic use of language and preserve the immediacy of his frank treatment of homosexual themes, his brilliant re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. The resetting of the entire edition has permitted the translators to review each poem and to make alterations where appropriate. George Savidis has revised the notes according to his latest edition of the Greek text. About the first edition: "The best [English version] we are likely to see for some time."James Merrill, The New York Review of Books "[Keeley and Sherrard] have managed the miracle of capturing this elusive, inimitable, unforgettable voice. It is the most haunting voice I know in modern poetry."Walter Kaiser

C.P. Cavafy Ithaka Translated by Other poems of Cavafy... Ithaka Che fece ... il gran rifiuto Thermopylae Exiles The City As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, angry Poseidon-don't be afraid of them: you'll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, wild Poseidon-you won't encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you. Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you're seeing for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony

C.P. CAVAFY: FROM ITHACA TO TARPON SPRINGS C.P. Cavafy is considered to be Greece's greatest modern poet. He lived and wrote at the turn of the century (1863-1933), in Alexandria, Egypt, and his works continue to inspire and enlighten readers worldwide. In fact, his poem entitled Ithaca was read in its entirety by Jacqueline Kennedy Onnassis' companion at her (nationally televised) burial service this past year. Cavafy wrote about the discovery and rediscovery of self, about intellectual and sensuous pleasures and pursuits, about the sadness and inevitability of growing old, about the importance of living life to the fullest, about the journey being more important than the destination, about the significance of a destination in order to set out on the journey. For thousands of years Greeks have embarked upon many journeys. It is no wonder that just as many Greeks live outside Greece as they do within its borders. In the early years of this century, one of these journeys took a score of sponge divers from the island of Aegina and brought them to Tarpon Springs, Florida, where some of their descendants still dive for sponges. At present, Tarpon Springs is a town of around 20,000 inhabitants, and roughly a third of them are Greeks. Some are relative newcomers. And not all are sponge divers. Many have become professionals; others operate the numerous restaurants along the pier; and still others are painters, contractors, school teachers and travel agents. Tarpon Springs is a unique and fascinating place because of the pervasive Greek influence, and because of the historical importance of the sponge diving industry.

poetry awards poetry month poetry exhibits about the academy Search Larger Type Find a Poet Find a Poem Listening Booth ... Add to a Notebook C. P. Cavafy Cavafy had an unusually small social circle. He lived with his mother until her death in 1899, and then with his unmarried brothers. For most of his mature years Cavafy lived alone. Influential literary relationships included a twenty-year acquaintance with E. M. Forster. The poet himself identified only two love affairs, both apparently brief. His one intimate, long-standing friendship was with Alexander Singopoulos, whom Cavafy designated as his heir and literary executor when he was sixty years old, ten years before his death. Cavafy remained virtually unrecognized in Greece until late in his career. He never offered a volume of his poems for sale during his lifetime, instead distributing privately printed pamphlets to friends and relatives. Fourteen of Cavafy's poems appeared in a pamphlet in 1904; the edition was enlarged in 1910. Several dozens appeared in subsequent years in a number of privately printed booklets and broadsheets. These editions contained mostly the same poems, first arranged thematically, and then chronologically. Close to one-third of his poems were never printed in any form while he lived. In book form, Cavafy's poems were first published without dates before World War II and reprinted in 1949. (The Poems of Constantine P. Cavafy) appeared posthumously in 1935 in Alexandria. The only evidence of public recognition in Greece during his later years was his receipt, in 1926, of the Order of the Phoenix from the Greek dictator Pangalos.

C.P. Cavafy Thermopylae Translated by Other poems of Cavafy... Ithaka Che fece ... il gran rifiuto Thermopylae Exiles The City Honor to those who in the life they lead define and guard a Thermopylae. Never betraying what is right, consistent and just in all they do but showing pity also, and compassion; generous when they're rich, and when they're poor, still generous in small ways, still helping as much as they can; always speaking the truth, yet without hating those who lie. And even more honor is due to them when they foresee (as many do foresee) that Ephialtis will turn up in the end, that the Medes will break through after all. NOTES: Written January 1901. Published November 30, 1903.. In 11-syllable unrhymed lines. Ephialtis was the Greek traitor who guided a section of the Medes (i.e the Persian Army) over a mountain path in order to attack the rear of the Greek forces which were protecting the pass of Thermopylae under the Spartan king Leonidas (480 B.C.).
