Ιθάκη - Ithaqua - Ithaca

Ἡ Ἰθάκη σ᾿ ἔδωσε τ᾿ ὡραῖο ταξίδι.
Χωρὶς αὐτὴν δὲν θἄβγαινες στὸν δρόμο.

Ἔτσι σοφὸς ποὺ ἔγινες, μὲ τόση πείρα,
ἤδη θὰ τὸ κατάλαβες ᾑ Ἰθάκες τί σημαίνουν.

***

Ithaqua t’a donné le beau voyage:
Sans elle, tu ne te serais pas mis en route.

Sage comme tu l’es devenu à la suite de tant d’expériences,
tu as enfin compris ce que signifient les Ithaques.

***

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.
Without her you would never have taken the road.

With the great wisdom you have gained, with so much experience, you must surely have understood
…what Ithaca mean[s].

- Constantine Cavafy, 1911

Buenos recuerdos tengo de mi tío Lucas….su forma de hablar el español y como disfrutaba de las comidas y las raciones en los bares. Tengo buenos recuerdos de él y con eso me quedo. Un abrazo a todos.
