Constantine P. Cavafy – Poems

THE WINDOWS

In these dark rooms where I spend

leaden days, I go up and down

looking for the windows.—To open

one would be a great consolation.—

But they are nowhere to be found, or I can not

find them. And perhaps it is better that I don’t.

Perhaps their light will be a new tyranny.

Who knows what it will reveal?
