Ithaca [Greece] Kawafis When you set sail for Ithaca, I hope your journey is long and full of adventure and discovery. Giant Lester Regones, Cyclops, Angry Poseidon-don't be afraid of them: you won't meet such monsters on the road, as long as you keep noble thoughts and have a special excitement to stimulate your body and mind. The giant Lester, the cyclops, the savage Poseidon-you won't meet them unless you bring them into your soul, unless your soul stands in front of you.

I hope your journey is long. I hope there will be many summer mornings there, when you first enter the harbor with great joy and joy: I hope you will stop at the Phoenician trade market and buy some exquisite things, such as mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony, as well as all kinds of ecstasy perfumes-buy as many ecstasy perfumes as possible; May you visit more Egyptian cities and ask people of insight. Keep Ithaca in mind. Getting there is the purpose of your visit. But don't worry, it's better to extend it for a few more years, and then you'll be old on the island. The income along the way has taught you how to be rich, and you don't need Ithaca to make you rich. Ithaca gave you such a magical trip, without which you wouldn't have set sail. Now she has nothing to give you. And if you find it so poor, Ithaca is not trying to fool you. Now that you have become very wise and well informed, you can't help but understand what these Ithaca means.
