Constantine P Cavafy - Pictured
Work rating: Low

My work, I`m very careful about it, and I love it.
But today I`m discouraged by how slowly it`s going.
The day has affected my mood.
It gets darker and darker. Endless wind and rain.
I`m more in the mood for looking than for writing.
In this picture, I`m now gazing at a handsome boy
who is lying down close to a spring,
exhausted from running.
What a handsome boy; what a heavenly noon
has caught him up in sleep.
I sit and gaze like this for a long time,
recovering through art from the effort of creating it.
