The revision covers all the poems published in Princeton s earlier bilingual edition, George Seferis: Collected Poems (expanded edition, 1981). Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963, George Seferis (1900-1971) has long been recognized as a major international figure, and Keeley and Sherrard are his ideal translators. They create, in the words of Archibald MacLeish, a "translation worthy of Seferis, which is to praise it as highly as it could be praised." Although Seferis was preoccupied with his tradition as few other poets of the same generation were with theirs, and although he was actively engaged in the immediate political aspirations of his nation, his value for readers lies in what he made of this preoccupation and this engagement in fashioning a broad poetic vision. He is also known for his stylistic purity, which allows no embellishment beyond that necessary for precise yet rich poetic statement. / CONTENTS Foreword Acknowledgement Mythistorema 1 The angel. 2 Still one more well inside a cave. 3 I woke with this marble head in my hands. 4 And a soul/if it is to know itself. 5 We didn t know them . 6 The garden with its fountains in the rain. 7 Westward the sea merges with a mountain range. 8 What are they after, our souls, travelling. 9 The harbour is old, I can t wait any longer. 10 Our country is closed in, all mountains. 11 Sometimes your blood froze like the moon. 12 Three rocks, a few burnt pines, a lone chapel. 13 Dolphins banners and the sound of cannons. 14 Three red pigeons in the light. 15 Sleep wrapped you in green leaves like a tree. 16 On the track, once more on the track. 17 Now that you are leaving. 18 I regret having let a broad river slip. 19 Even if the wind blows it doesn t cool us. 20 In my breast the wound opens again. 21 We who set out on this pilgrimage. 22 So very much having passed before our eyes. 23 A little farther. 24 Here end the works of the sea, the works of love.
