Elytis poetry DRINKING THE SUN OF CORINTH... Drinking the sun of Corinth Reading the marble ruins Striding across vineyards and seas Sighting along the harpoon A votive fish that slips away I found the leaves that the sun’s psalm memorizes The living land that passion joys in opening. I drink water, cut fruit, Thrust my hand into the wind’s foliage The lemon trees water the summer pollen The green birds tear my dreams I leave with a glance A wide glance in which the world is recreated Beautiful from the beginning to the dimensions of the heart! Translation: Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard From: Sun the first |
