Temples in the shape of the sky
and beautiful girls too
with grapes in their teeth, you should have!
birds that nil the weight off our hearts
and the blue we loved is everywhere!
The temple of Poseidon in Sounion
with its deep sky blue
and the vastness of the pelagic sea
it is the temple in the shape of the sky
that symbolizes our love too!
And the statue at the apex of the island
at the entrance of the blue bay’s too
was photographed by my love
and her father too
they are as beautiful as our love too!
by Odysseas Elytis, Nobel laureate 1979 and two more
