Ah blessed one, dearest companion of the immortal Muses, fare thou well even in the house of Hades
Thomas Dohling
Why were your poems so pregnant with melancholia?
George
I wish Cavafy lived, to answser your question. We can only guess – his life in Alexandria, a modern city with only a few Greeks, contrary to the past – I think he was feeling the passing of time, how people change, civilizations change, even Greece becomes a modern western country…. There are enough reasons, personal and cultural, for a sensitive soul to be melancholic… Even the homosexuality of Cavafy added to this – a condition disdained by society, with relationships that only very seldom last long, etc.
