About Me:
ITHACA
When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
Pray that the road is long,
Full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
The angry Poseidon , do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your path
If your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
Emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
The fierce Poseidon you will never ecounter,
If you do not carry them within your soul,
If your heart does not set them up for you.
Pray that the road is long.
That summer mornings are many, when,
With such pleasure, with such joy
You will enter ports seen for the first time;
Stop at Phoenician markets,
And purchase fine merchadise,
Mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
And sensual perfumes of all kinds,
As many sensual perfumes as you can ;
Visit many Egyptian cities,
To learn and learn from scholars.
