The Poems of Constantine Cavafy, No. 7: The Windows

In these darkened rooms, where I spend oppressive days, I pace to and fro and around, searching for the windows.

--When a window opens, it will be a consolation.-- But the windows are not found...

...And perhaps it is better I do not find them.


	Perhaps the light will be a new tyranny. Who knows what things it will show?
