“BURNISHED DAY, CONCH OF THE VOICE…” Burnished day, conch of the voice that fashioned me Naked, to step through my perpetual Sundays Between the shores’ cries of welcome, Let your wind, known for the first time, blow freely Unfold a lawn of tenderness Where the sun can roll his head Can enflame the poppies with his kiss Poppies nourished by men so fine That the sole mark on their bare chests Is the blood of defiance that annuls sorrow And attains the remembrance of liberty. I spoke of love, of the rose’s health, of the ray That by itself goes straight to the heart, Of Greece that steps so surely on the sea Greece that carries me always Among naked snow-crowned mountains. I give my hand to justice Diaphanous fountain, sublimest spring, My sky is deep and changeless All I love is incessantly reborn All I love is always at its beginning. Odysseus Elytis IP: Logged |

The first couple times I clicked on this it looked suspiciously like homework so I ran away. I understand it somewhat today since I took the time to consider it, but not all of the way. I just looked up the author... (Hey! This IS homework!) hoping to understand the background.All of you brilliant philosophers around here... I'll keep learning! IP: Logged |
