AND THERE were some days when we lost heart when some
appeared coming our way from afar; what news did
they bring to us we asked?
Leave us in our misfortune, why do we want these deeds,
we, the defeated since the ancient days as the sundown
came though they never asked for our approval. Thus in order
to survive a clear forehead was enough
and we spoke but a little until night fell.
Manolis Aligizakis
