This is one of my all time favourite poems, and the poem that lead me to Cavafy's poetry. Have you read his poem The God Abandons Antony ?

No. I'd love to read it though. Could you email it to me?

Yep.

I really like this. This poem is used as a thematic thread in Robert Dessaix's novel Corfu, a book I highly recommend for anyone into Greek culture, poetry, and/or romance.

I went to college in Ithaca, NY so this poem had all sorts of double meanings for me...
