Lend me your rears.

I come to marry Caesar not to praise him."

Cleapatra was such a haggard old crone. I would have burnt her at the stake, err, Obelisk.

Ah, tis the power of dream.  Good stuff it is! Thanks Charles... :) xox

[brychar66]

Thanks darling. Another of my fav Cavafy's. Sound's a bit uneven!

[citizenX9328g]

Charles,this is marvellous,I don't know anyone else who can speak nor translate Greek or Latin!

You're a true Don to be sure :-)

On another note,there's a website you might enjoy called gubaDOTcom

I've spent hours there watching documentaries on the fall of Carthage,Byzantium,the Romans,you name it,they have masses of educational stuff :-)

[brychar66]

hehe as I never stop saying, my Greek and Latin are truly minimal, just bits & pieces picked up in a lifetime of grubbing round the classics. i'll certainly have a look at the site u mention - many thanks for all your comments!

[citizenX9328g]

You're welcome - keep "grubbing round",as you put it XD

[juanarm]

[brychar66]

Bravo! You're right, translating is hell, especially poetry! Those were quite amazing images and they went just right with the poem.

[brychar66]

Many thanks old friend.
