When you depart for Ithaca,
wish for the road to be long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.
[C. P. Cavafy, found courtesy of John Lynch]
There is a recitation of the poem by Sean Connery and Vangelis .
See also Waiting for the Barbarians .
The poetry of Cavafy, a fellow Alexandrian tormented soul, is interesting and worth checking out to say the least.
Silly me, I don’t know how to include a link.
