" "Wśród lęku i podejrzeń,
z zamętem w myślach, z trwogą w oczach,
rozpaczliwie szukamy jakichkolwiek sposobów,
aby uniknąć oczywistej grozy,
która jest tuż przed nami.
A jednak się mylimy: nie ma jej na drodze.
Wieści kłamały
(a może ich nie było albośmy ich nie pojęli).
Zupełnie inna klęska, nigdy nie przeczuwana,
nagle jak burza na nas spada
i nie przygotowanych — a czasu już brak — zagarnia.

Additional quotes by Konstantinos P. Cavafy
People of Kommagini, let the glory of Antiochos, the noble king, be celebrated as it deserves. He was a provident ruler of the country. He was just, wise, courageous. In addition he was that best of all things, Hellenic — mankind has no quality more precious: everything beyond that belongs to the gods.
Why have our two consuls and praetors come out today wearing their embroidered, their scarlet togas? Why have they put on bracelets with so many amethysts, rings sparkling with magnificent emeralds? Why are they carrying elegant canes beautifully worked in silver and gold?<p>Because the barbarians are coming today and things like that dazzle the barbarians.
