Sonia Theodoridou - God Abandons Antony/Απολείπειν ο Θεός Aντώνιον
God
abandons Antony
When suddenly,
at midnight, you hear
an invisible
procession going by
with exquisite
music, voices,
don’t mourn
your luck that’s failing now,
work gone
wrong, your plans
all proving
deceptive—don’t mourn them uselessly.
As one long
prepared, and graced with courage,
say goodbye to
her, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Above all,
don’t fool yourself, don’t say
it was a dream,
your ears deceived you:
don’t degrade
yourself with empty hopes like these.
As one long
prepared, and graced with courage,
as is right
for you who were given this kind of city,
go firmly to
the window
and listen
with deep emotion, but not
with the
whining, the pleas of a coward;
listen—your
final delectation—to the voices,
to the
exquisite music of that strange procession,
and say
goodbye to her, to the Alexandria you are losing.
Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)
