Cavafy for Company in Cephalonia
Ten days before I step with hesitation into the sixth decade of my life, Sailing past the verdant shores of Cephalonia in Ionia With Cavafy’s poetry as company, I thought of you both: One fragment of my youth and one from somewhat later.
As I gaze at the sheer white cliffs and sapphire waters calm as oil My constant ache is lightened By a twinge of sadness.
