Seferis

 Days of 1945-1951 : A Poet's Journal
(Meres, 1-7)

These are the diaries of Seferis. It is a special series of books where this great writer wrote his thoughts of the every day life. Especially the 4th volume which is the diary of the second world war when Seferis as employer of the Greek goverment took the way of fugutive in the Middle East and describes all the difficulties of the life there. He wrote for the world in the 4th of July 1943: "our world is the ultimate grain of sand and into this silence an eye who can keep inside of it all the universe". I think everyone must read the diaries of Seferis.

 Thrush
(Kíkhli)

When the dreams come true and Kixlh is true ... Kixlh was an old boat on the Greek coast and this boat was full of memories and stories ... Seferis chooses Kixlh as a symbol for our dreams and our life. For me Kixlh is a travel into my soul, into the reallity of our time ... The best verse of this poem is the following: "Lands of sun and you can not dare look the sun. Lands of man and you can not dare look the man". I thing with that verse Seferis says all that my generation and all the young people want to say to the world.
