Constantine Cavafy – Poems

Interruption


We interrupt the labor of the gods,
we, the rushed and inexperienced beings of the moment.
In the palaces of Eleusis and Phthia
Demeter and Thetis begin good works
amid great fires and thick smoke. But
Metaneira always charges from the quarters
of the king, terrified, her hair undone,
and the fearful Peleus always interferes.
