The Sovereign Sun
“We’ve sailed for years on end, and still
we’ve kept afloat
we ’ve changed a thousand skippers on
this balmy boat
we never paid the slightest heed to
cataclysms
but plunged headlong in everything with
optimism
and high up on our lookout mast we keep
for sentry one
who ever and on remain our Sun and
Sovereign Sun.”
Οdysseas Εlytis (1911-1996)
