Return often and take me,
beloved sensation, return and take me –

when lips and skin remember,
and hands could almost touch again. Return often and take me at night,
when lips and skin remember.

Additional quotes by Konstantinos P. Cavafy

But the old mirror that during all the many years / of its existence had looked upon / thousands of objects and faces, / the old mirror was happy now, / filled with the satisfaction that it had received, / if only for a few minutes, beauty in all its perfection.
