Andreas Kalvos

“Let those who feel
the heavy brazen hand of fear
bear slavery:
freedom needs virtue,
needs daring.
She (for myth may veil
the spirit of truth) lent wings
to Icarus – and though he fell,
and his wings drowned
beneath the waves,
he fell from great heights
and still died free. Should you
die like a sheep, dishonored,
at the hands of a tyrant,
your grave will be an abomination.”
― Andreas Kalvos
