from the introduction to "the sovereign sun" selected poems by odysseus elytis, trans. and introduction by kimon friar. [id in alt text]

#poetry. #kimon friar. #odysseus elytis. #ancient greek poetry. #rereading the sovereign sun as summer sweeps to a close and this stuck out so lovingly. #i remember finding this book tucked away in a small and unfrequented section of my library a handful of years ago. #it swept something in me / something ancient and full of light. #i had to find my own used copy as soon as i realized i couldn't keep it / mark it as my own. there is such love taken into it? #the translation of so much intimate glory and understanding of the universe / of life? the attempt of it. #it feels crafted so carefully. the importance something that could not be understated? i return to it every couple of years - #to reignite that spark. the language in it is just. spellbinding. it reminds me of a warm breeze at twilight / where the light is dim / #and everything feels possible in a way it was not before. #might post more of my favourites !!! just had to share this ending piece of the introduction 💕

Lá fora, a última andorinha demorou-se até mais tarde, suspensa no ar como uma fita preta na manga do Outono, e nada mais ficou. Só as casas queimadas ardendo ainda em fogo lento.  Yiannis Ritsos em “Romiosini”
