Seferis

Greek poet and Nobelist Giorgos Seferis (1900-1971) prophetic statement on BBC World Service on 28 March 1969, against the military dictatorship (imposed 21 April 1967) of Greece. He ends up saying: "This anomaly must end, now I return to my silence and I hope there will be no need to speak again." [For more see Wikipedia]
On the video clip among others we can see: the kitsch celebrations of the junta, the disaster of Cyprus, Alekos Panagoulis, desert island Giaros concentration camp, the Polytechnic students uprising and the invasion of the tank smashing the gate of the Polytechnic school on 17 November 1973

Ο Σεφερης που με το εργο του αναπαρηγαγε τα δογματα της ελληνικοτητας,της αμολυντης υπαιθρου, της `καθαρης ποιησης`,ολη τη μυθολογια της Δεξιας ·που υπηρετησε πιστα ως διπλωματης οχι μια αλλα τρεις δικτατοριες (Παγκαλου,Κονδυλη,Μεταξα), που ως μοντερνιστης απαξιουσε την πολιτικη και απευθυνονταν στουςλιγους,θυμηθηκε στα 69 του χρονια να σπασει για μοναδικη φορα τη σιωπη του μ'αυτη την ηπια δηλωση του...

@zaandam40

Shut up and show respect to that great man...

He is more than god he and Elytis expressed greece and greek people through their poems

You can be racist but not on this video!

Go and be racist on an other video that promotes racism and please leave because this man was never racist and he even was born in Smyrni (today's Izmir)

So just respect him because you know nothing... his poems are our soul

something that you will never understand neither by your heart or your brain...

"Τώρα επιστρέφω πάλι στη σιωπή μου.." κάτι τέτοιες μαλακίες πετάνε στο τέλος οι ποιητές και τη χαλάνε όλη τη φαμφάρα. Ως πρέσβης της Ελλάδας ή ως ποιητής κρατούσε τη σιωπή του?

zaandam40 you know, when the arabs gave turks horses, the turks were confused because they didn t know whether the turk rides the horse or the horse the turk, history haha
