Απολείπειν ο θεός Αντώνιον
Σαν έξαφνα, ώρα μεσάνυχτ', ακουσθεί
αόρατος θίασος να περνά
με μουσικές εξαίσιες, με φωνές --
την τύχη σου που ενδίδει πια, τα έργα σου
που απέτυχαν, τα σχέδια της ζωής σου
που βγήκαν όλα πλάνες, μη ανοφέλετα θρηνήσεις.
Σαν έτοιμος από καιρό, σα θαρραλέος,
αποχαιρέτα την, την Αλεξάνδρεια που φεύγει.
Προ πάντων να μη γελασθείς, μην πείς πως ήταν
ένα όνειρο, πως απατήθηκεν η ακοή σου·
μάταιες ελπίδες τέτοιες μην καταδεχθείς.
Σαν έτοιμος από καιρό, σα θαρραλέος,
σαν που ταιριάζει σε που αξιώθηκες μια τέτοια πόλι,
πλησίασε σταθερά προς το παράθυρο,
κι άκουσε με συγκίνησιν, αλλ' όχι
με των δειλών τα παρακάλια και παράπονα,
ως τελευταία απόλαυσι τους ήχους,
τα εξαίσια όργανα του μυστικού θιάσου,
κι αποχαιρέτα την, την Αλεξάνδρεια που χάνεις.
Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης (1911)

ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΒΟΗΘΕΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΜΕΓΕΘΥΝΣΗΣ
ΜΕΓΑΛΩΣΤΕ ΤΗΝ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ ΚΑΙ ΘΑΥΜΑΣΤΕ ΤΟ ΚΕΦΑΛΙ ΤΟΥ ΑΛΟΓΟΥ
ΤΗΝ ΜΑΓΙΣΣΑ ΠΟΥ ΤΡΩΕΙ ΤΑ ΑΣΤΡΑ
ΤΙΣ ΣΤΗΛΕΣ ΠΟΥ ΓΕΝΝΟΥΝ ΤΑ ΑΣΤΡΑ
ΚΑΙ ΟΤΙ ΑΛΛΟ Η ΦΑΝΤΑΣΙΑ ΣΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΟΙ ΓΝΩΣΕΙΣ ΣΑΣ, ΣΑΣ ΕΠΙΤΡΕΠΟΥΝ

| You Should Play the Guitar |
 You're very independent - both in spirit and in the way you learn. You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed. You're not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson - or do things by the book. It's more your style to master the fundamentals and see where they take you. Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play. You could emerge as a sensitive songwriter... or a manic rock star. Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity |
|
Hot-headed. You have strong will power and a good imagination.  |
