"It was as if the weather had improved again.
I slowly began to climb the hill,
The one with the worn, uneven slabs that I like.
I walk seeing many years behind the veil of habit.
I know in the greatest detail how and why the wall of the
Church was built the way it is, on such uneven ground.
I see the original form the house with three columns
Must have had. I attribute the due importance to the meaning
That a tin of sunflowers on the landing of an
Inner courtyard has."
Odysseus Elytis, "Public and Private", Icarus Press, 1990, p. 28.
