Rate this book
希臘最重要現代詩人卡瓦菲斯,最鼓舞人心的詩作伊薩卡島,圖像創作者吳睿哲插畫,授權收錄伊薩卡島希臘文手稿,一首詩一本書——

作為禮物,送給正在追逐夢想中的人,
作為鼓勵,不要因為遭遇挫折、還到不了夢想之地「伊薩卡島」而氣餒。
更重要的,不要匆匆趕路,因為這一路就是所得。

收藏這一本小書,在遇到挫折的時候,翻開它,重拾一點勇氣。


當你航向伊薩卡島
願你的旅途悠長,
充滿冒險,充滿探索。
食人巨怪、獨眼巨人,
憤怒的海神波塞頓——別怕他們:
旅途之中,你絕對不會碰見這些妖魔
只要你保持志高氣昂,
只要你讓那獨有的悸動
鼓舞你的身、你的心。
食人巨怪、獨眼巨人,
狂野的海神波塞頓——你不會碰見他們
除非你在心中帶著他們上路,
除非你在心中把他們擺在眼前。

願你的旅途悠長。
願你欣逢許多夏日的清晨,
愉悅地、歡喜地,
航抵你前所未見的海港;
願你在腓尼基人的商棧停步
採購種種華物,
珍珠母貝和珊瑚,琥珀和烏木,
林林總總撩人的香水——
如你所願,盡興入囊;
願你造訪諸多埃及的市城
求教於他們的智者,持續向學。

請你時時惦念伊薩卡島。
你注定終會抵達。
但切勿匆匆趕路。
旅程最好持續多年,
當你航抵島上,你已上了年歲,
沿途所得已使你豐足,
無需寄望伊薩卡島令你致富。

伊薩卡島賜予你奇妙的旅程。
若是沒有她,你絕對不會啟航。
如今她再也沒有什麽可以給你。

你若察覺她如此窮苦,伊薩卡島可不是有意欺瞞。
既然你已聰明睿智,見多識廣,
你也將會明瞭,這一個個伊薩卡島的意涵。

Constantinos P. Cavafy

178 books547 followers
Constantine P. Cavafy (also known as Konstantin or Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis, or Kavaphes; Greek Κ.Π. Καβάφης) was a major Greek poet who worked as a journalist and civil servant. His consciously individual style earned him a place among the most important figures not only in Greek poetry, but in Western poetry as well. He has been called a skeptic and a neo-pagan. In his poetry he examines critically some aspects of Christianity, patriotism, and homosexuality, though he was not always comfortable with his role as a nonconformist. He published 154 poems; dozens more remained incomplete or in sketch form. His most important poetry was written after his fortieth birthday.
