I quote: The album, recorded at Cohen's and Robinson's home studios, includes the song "Alexandra Leaving", a transformation of the poem "The God Abandons Antony", by the Greek poet Constantine P. Cavafy. That makes it what it is.
-
@AlexandraDelRio1 Cohen freely adapted the poem for his song "Alexandra Leaving". Whereas Cavafy's theme was based around the city of Alexandria, Cohen's version builds around a woman named Alexandra

One of the few songwriters who gets into poetry. been listening to him for forty years.

So many people don't believe that words have power, not even their own. The media is a cacophany of hurled invective. Careless words are killing us. Cohen is like a Merlin of incantation set upon the Earth to show how words can transform and restore.
