Monotony One monotonous day follows another
monotonous day, without change. The same
things happen, then happen again.
The same moments approach, then grow distant. A month passes and brings another month.
Anyone can guess what’s coming after:
all the tedious events from the day before,
until tomorrow looks nothing like tomorrow.

Distinguishing Marks


Every land has its distinguishing mark.
Particular to Thessaly are horsemanship and horses;
what marks a Spartan
is war's season; Media has

its tables with their dishes;
hair marks the Celts, the Assyrians have beards.
But the marks that distinguish
Athens are Mankind and the Word.

"In these dark rooms I pass
such listless days, I wander up and down
looking for the windows - when a window opens
there will be some relief.
But there are no windows, or at least
I cannot find them. And perhaps it's just as well.
Perhaps the light would prove another torment.
Who knows what new things it would reveal?

("The Windows")"
