Love ...Through the Centuries

Expressions of all aspects of love, all kinds of love... in Greek poetry

"Lovely dreamer, tell me what you have seen this night?"
"A night full of wonder, a night sown with magic!
No movement on earth or skies or seas,
not even as much as the bee makes near the tiny flower.
Around something motionless, whitening in the lake,
only the full moon moved
and a graceful girl rises clothed in its light."

TEMPTATION Dionysios Solomos (1798-1857), translated by Rae Dalven
