    Dorothea Mackellar
    “I love a sunburnt country,
    A land of sweeping plains,
    Of ragged mountain ranges,
    Of droughts and flooding rains.
    I love her far horizons,
    I love her jewel-sea,
    Her beauty and her terror –
    The wide brown land for me!”

    Μενέλαος Λουντέμης
    “Σε περιμένω. Μη ρωτάς γιατί.
    Μη ρωτάς γιατί περιμένει κείνος
    Που δέν έχει τί να περιμένει
    Και όμως περιμένει.
    Γιατί σαν πάψει να περιμένει
    Είναι σα να παύει να βλέπει
    Σα να παύει να κοιτά τον ουρανό
    Να παύει να ελπίζει
    Σα να παύει να ζεί.
    Αβάσταχτο είναι...Πικρό είναι
    Να σιμώνεις αργά στ'ακρογιάλι
    Χωρίς να είσαι ναυαγός
    Ούτε σωτήρας
    Παρά ναυάγιο. ..”
    ― Menelaos Lountemis
