C. P. Cavafy Constantine P. Cavafy,  was born in 1863, in Alexandria, Egypt.  He was the ninth child of a large family.  The family business which dealt with the import and export of Egyptian cotton and Manchester (England) textiles, provided the opportunity for Cavafy to spend seven years of his early childhood in England (between the ages of nine and sixteen), and played an important role in the exposure to English literature provided by English schooling.  Cavafy so completely enjoyed learning English, and was so profoundly affected by the language and English manners, that he was said to speak Greek with a slight English accent.  He was particularly influenced by the works of Shakespeare, Browning, and Oscar Wilde. His formal schooling after returning to Alexandria, seems to have been limited to a short period of instruction at the Hermis Lyceum, a commercial school.  Another move to Constantinople saw Cavafy’s first attempt at poetry, in English, French and Greek, and also the beginning of his discovery and exploration of his homosexuality.  On returning to Alexandria, he joined his brother at the Egyptian Stock Exchange as an assistant, but devoted most of his personal time to the writing of poetry and some essays.  At age 29, he accepted an appointment as special clerk in the Irrigation Service of the Ministry of Public Works, which he held for the next 30 years of his life.  He also dabbled as a broker on the Egyptian Stock Exchange, occasionally earning large sums of money.  He continued to live in Alexandria until his death in 1933, from cancer of the larynx.  It is reported that Cavafy’s last gesture immediately before his death was the drawing of a circle on a blank sheet of paper, with a period placed in the middle of the circle.

A N N I V E R S A R Y C A T A L O G U E MODERN POETRY Introduction Order An Addendum of C. P. Cavafy "Cavafy combined a unique voice and a unique sensibility. He is for me not only the great poet of the Levant, but of all culture in decline - which makes him universal in this century." John Fowles "The unity of divine and human, or past and present, is as real to him as their disparity. . . . the Greek - or Hellenized - character shines forth: scheming, deluded, gifted, noble, weak. The language survives the reversals of faith and empire, and sharpens the dull wits of the barbarian. The glory dwindles and persists." James Merrill FOREWORD The manner in which Cavafy compiled his private editions has been described by his translators as follows: Passions and Ancient Days Introduction The following are the only copies of Cavafy's original works we have seen on the market; three of them are inscribed by Cavafy to his friend, the historian Christopher Nomikos. We are pleased to be able to offer this newly arrived quintet as an addendum to our anniversary catalogue. Note: We have transliterated the titles to Cavafy's selections of Poems 1. CAVAFY, C. P.

Cavafy 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." So wrote C. P. Cavafy in 1910. I've been reading his poems while waiting for my dreadful cold to retreat. Here's one of his most unsettling ones: The City You said, "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea. Another city will be found, better than this. Every effort of mine is condemned by fate; How long in this wasteland will my mind remain. Wherever I turn my eyes, wherever I may look I see the black ruins of my life here, where I spent so many years, and ruined and wasted." New lands you will not find, you will not find other seas.

The God Abandons Anthony By Constantinos P. Cavafy When suddenly there is heard at midnight A company passing invinsible With wonderful music, with voices, - Your fortune giving way now, your works Which have failed, the plans of a lifetime All turned illusions, do not mourn uselessly. As one prepared long since, courageously, Say farewell to her, to Alexandria who is leaving. Above all do not be tricked, never say it was All a dream, and that your hearing was deceived; Do not stop to such vain hopes as these. As one prepared long since, courageously, As becomes one worthy as you were of such a city, Firmly draw near the window, And listen with emotion but not with the complainings and entreaties of cowards, Listen, your last enjoyment, to the sounds, The wonderful instruments of the mystic company, And say farewell, farewell to Alexandria you are losing.

Classical Studies Newsletter, Volume VII, Summer 2002 Modern as Opposed to What? The C.P. Cavafy Professorship Inaugural Address By Professor Vassilios Lambropoulos September 28, 2001 Since universities are guardians of tradition, before I begin I would like to pay tribute to some pioneers: To Judge Woodward who in 1817, when this institution was established, gave it its original name, a Greek name: he called it not "University" but Catholepistimiad To Greek composer Manos Hadzidakis, best known for the Oscar he won for Never on Sunday, who in 1971 gave a concert of his music at the Rackham Amphitheater To Russian poet and Nobel laureate Josef Brodsky who in 1972 went into involuntary exile, came to U-M as Poet-in-Residence, and taught his very seminar on his favorite author, C.P. Cavafy And to those who over the years offered sporadic Modern Greek courses, for example in the mid-1970's, and to those who supported such early efforts. On a personal note, I also want to pay tribute to Artemis Leontis and Daphne Lambropoulos to whom this Professorship owes more than I can ever express.

C.P. Cavafy Ithaka When you set out for Ithaka Ask that your way be long, Full of adventure, full of instruction. The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops, Angry Poseidon do not fear them; Such as these you will never find As long as your thought is lofty, As long as a rare emotion Touch your spirit and your body. The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops, Angry Poseidon you will not meet them Unless you carry them in your soul, Unless your soul raise them up before you. Ask that your way be long, At many a summer dawn to enter With what gratitude, what joy! Ports seen for the first time; To stop at Phoenician trading centers, And to buy good merchandise. Mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, And sensuous perfumes of every kind. Buy as many sensuous perfumes as you can, Visit many Egyptian cities To learn and learn from those who have knowledge. Always keep Ithaka fixed in your mind; Your arrival there is what you are destined for. But do not in the least hurry the journey. Better that it last for years So that when you reach the island you are old
