Constantine Cavafy

So, They’ll Come
One candle is enough. Its dim light
will be more suitable, hospitable
when the Shadows come, the Shadows of Love.
One candle is enough. Tonight, the room
should not have too much light. Deep in reverie,
in subjection, and in the low light
completely in reverie, I shall envisage
the arrival of the Shadows, the Shadows of Love.
