Adopt a Poet Add to Notebook E-mail to Friend Print C. P. Cavafy Cavafy had an unusually small social circle. He lived with his mother until her death in 1899, and then with his unmarried brothers. For most of his mature years Cavafy lived alone. Influential literary relationships included a twenty-year acquaintance with E. M. Forster. The poet himself identified only two love affairs, both apparently brief. His one intimate, long-standing friendship was with Alexander Singopoulos, whom Cavafy designated as his heir and literary executor when he was sixty years old, ten years before his death. Cavafy remained virtually unrecognized in Greece until late in his career. He never offered a volume of his poems for sale during his lifetime, instead distributing privately printed pamphlets to friends and relatives. Fourteen of Cavafy's poems appeared in a pamphlet in 1904; the edition was enlarged in 1910. Several dozens appeared in subsequent years in a number of privately printed booklets and broadsheets. These editions contained mostly the same poems, first arranged thematically, and then chronologically. Close to one-third of his poems were never printed in any form while he lived.

Constantine P. Cavafy Ithaka The City Body Remember He Came to Read ... I've brought to Art Ithaka As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, angry Poseidon-don't be afraid of them: you'll never find the things like that on your way as long as you keep thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops, wild Poseidon-you won't encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you. Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you're seeing for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony. sensual perfume of every kind- as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to learn and go on learning from their scholars. Keep Ithaka always in your mind. Arriving there is what you're destined for. But don't hurry the journey at all.

3. Ars Gratia Artis From The Writings Of C. P. Cavafy A brief excerpt of prose by Cavafy on the condition of being a poet. http://plexipages.com/reflections/cavafy.html

Ars Gratia Artis from the writings of C. P. Cavafy A young poet visited me," he wrote. "He was very poor, lived by his literary work, and it seemed to me that he was grieved to see the good house I was living in, my servant who brought him a nicely served tea, my clothes made by a good tailor. He said: what a horrible thing it is to have to struggle for a livelihood, to hunt subscribers your periodical, and purchasers for your book. I didn't want to leave him in his delusion, so I said a few words, more or less as follows. His position is difficult and disagreeable but how much my little luxuries cost me. In order to obtain them I departed from my natural course and became a government servant (how absurd!) and I spend and lose all those precious hours a day to which must be added the hours of weariness and sluggishness that follow what a loss, and what a betrayal! While this poor fellow doesn't waste a single hour; he's always faithful to his duty as a child of Art. How often during my work a fine idea comes to me, a rare image, and sudden ready-formed lines, and I'm obliged to leave them, because work can't be put off. Then when I go home and recover a bit, I try to remember them, but they're gone. And it's quite right. It's as if Art said to me: 'I'm not a servant, for you to turn me out when I come, and to come when you want. I'm the greatest lady in the world. And if you deny me miserable traitor for your wretched "nice house," and your wretched good clothes and your wretched social position, be content with that (but how can you?) and for the moments when I come and it happens that you're ready to receive me, come outside your door to wait for me, as you ought to every day.'

(1863-1933) page: Gay male readers have had a particular interest in Cavafy's erotic poetry, which constitutes a considerable fraction of his canon. In the early poem "Candles" (written 1893), Cavafy expresses his fear that the days to come are now falling behind him like a gloomy line of burnt-out candles. The reader is allowed much latitude in interpretation, but one can see here a fear of losing the opportunity to live life to the fullest, perhaps through sexual repression. In "Walls" (1896), the poet complains that he has allowed walls to be built up around him, cutting him off from the outside world. The scenario for the poem is vague, but it can be read as representing Cavafy's complicity in allowing himself to repress his sensual side. "The Windows" (1897) presents the poet wandering around, hoping to find windows to his closed room, at the same time fearing that light may prove another tyranny. Sponsor Message.

6. Constantine P. Cavafy Includes a brief biography and an extensive selection of poems translated into English in online text form, with the original Greek versions as well. http://users.hol.gr/~barbanis/cavafy/

Constantine P. Cavafy Cavafy, one of the most prominent Greek poets, was born on April 29, 1863 and died on the same date in 1933 in Alexandria (Egypt). Here's a short biographical note by the poet himself: I am from Constantinople by descent, but I was born in Alexandria at a house on Seriph Street; I left very young, and spent much of my childhood in England. Subsequently I visited this country as an adult, but for a short period of time. I have also lived in France. During my adolescence I lived over two years in Constantinople. It has been many years since I last visited Greece. My last employment was as a clerk at a government office under the Ministry of Public Works of Egypt. I know English, French, and a little Italian. Here are a few of my favorite poems by Cavafy, translated into English. I have included the Greek original, but you will need Greek fonts to view these properly. If you do not have Greek fonts, or your browser is not set to display them, the Greek titles will look strange, but you will be able to view the English translation with no problems.

11. The Poetry Of C.P. Cavafy Translated by J. Mavrogordatos. http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~livantes/Cavafys.html

The God Abandons Anthony By Constantinos P. Cavafy When suddenly there is heard at midnight A company passing invinsible With wonderful music, with voices, - Your fortune giving way now, your works Which have failed, the plans of a lifetime All turned illusions, do not mourn uselessly. As one prepared long since, courageously, Say farewell to her, to Alexandria who is leaving. Above all do not be tricked, never say it was All a dream, and that your hearing was deceived; Do not stoop to such vain hopes as these. As one prepared long since, courageously, As becomes one worthy as you were of such a city, Firmly draw near the window, And listen with emotion but not with the complainings and entreaties of cowards, Listen, your last enjoyment, to the sounds, The wonderful instruments of the mystic company, And say farewell, farewell to Alexandria you are losing. The poems of C.P. Cavafy. (Translated by J. Mavrogordatos) The Hogarth Press, London 1951, p. 26. N.B. There is a remark in Plutarch about the Roman tragic figure of Mark Anthony seeing his fortunes turned around, seeing his glory vanished, seeing love
