"Just as the honey bee goes round a wild
flower, so do I wander
continually around the word.
I thank the long ranks
of ancestors who worked in the voice,
cut it into loops, turned it
into meanings, forged it, the way
metal workers forge gold, and it became
Hpmeroi, Aeschyloi, Gospels
and other jewels.
With the thread
of words, this gold
of gold that rises from the depths
of my heart, I relate, partake
of the world!
Just think;
I said and wrote, "I love."
Nikephoros Vrettakos
