Greek Waves

Greece is not only about the Golden Era of Pericles or its glorious past in general.

Modern Greece is a lively country, with a unique combination of Eastern and Western values at play.

Without consideration, without pity, without shame
they have built great and high walls around me.

And now I sit here and despair.
I think of nothing else: this fate gnaws at my mind;

for I had many things to do outside.
Ah why did I not pay attention when they were building the walls.

But I never heard any noise or sound of builders.
Imperceptibly they shut me from the outside world.

Walls by Konstantinos Kavafis (1896)
