The shrine itself is hardly bigger than a large telephone booth, but the lamps are always in repair and the floor always dusted.
How this is done is rather a puzzle. Yet it has always been so. . . .

When Forster came to Alexandria he thought the war would bring an end to the civilisation he had known. Now he found that Cavafy, standing on his balcony, was already surveying a wider wreckage.

Καλή Πρωτομαγιά! Happy 1st of May, and International Labor Day. “Olympus of Bithynia, its monks belonging to another time. The foliage of music: how music builds a nest; how it strengthens its foliage.”
George Seferis, A Poet’s Journal: Days of 1945-1951; Sunday, May Day 1949

Sometimes at evening I might come upon her sitting absently alone on the little painted wooden terrace of the Café Baudrot, gazing into space.
Her sketching blocks lay before her, unopened. On her lips, the tiny moustache of cream from her café viennois.

“Even in poems that seem to be impersonal images from a bygone life, the poet’s own experience is always present – hidden or obvious. That is why his works feel so deeply rooted in our contemporary life.”
– George Seferis, born #OTD 1900, on Cavafy
