Wiersz jest wyzwaniem rzuconym czasowi, smierci, zapomnieniu, poeta zas to ktos obdarzony talentem utrwalania w slowie - badz w materii wyobrazni - chwili przeszlej, jakiegos doznania, przezycia, wzruszenia, przelotnie ujrzanej twarzy, zapachu, linii ciala. Poezja jest zatem sztuka "uterazniejszania" przeszlosci, sprawiania, by znikniona juz chwila przetrwala w wiecznym nunc stans.

Constantinos P. Cavafy
Author · 20 books
Constantine P. Cavafy (also known as Konstantin or Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis, or Kavaphes; Greek Κ.Π. Καβάφης) was a major Greek poet who worked as a journalist and civil servant. His consciously individual style earned him a place among the most important figures not only in Greek poetry, but in Western poetry as well. He has been called a skeptic and a neo-pagan. In his poetry he examines critically some aspects of Christianity, patriotism, and homosexuality, though he was not always comfortable with his role as a nonconformist. He published 154 poems; dozens more remained incomplete or in sketch form. His most important poetry was written after his fortieth birthday.
