Poetess Maria Mistrioti for Theo Aggelopoulos

Beyond that we were sailing heartbroken
Odyssey chapter 10 verse 105

Your silence
strong speech
Theo Aggelopoulos.

We shall not say goodbye.

The «Ulysse΄s Gaze» does not cease to shine
and all «are a continuation of Homer's Odyssey
in the perpetual motion of life and of death».

The «Travelling players» do not cease travelling
and sharing bread and wine
for those who leave bloody and rebellious.

The stork does not stop its «Suspended step»
and the «Landscape in the mist» becomes passage of immigrant times.

The saltyscarlet mermaids
persist in seeking «Alexander the Great».
The «Voyage to Cythera»
through metaphors and visions.
With deductive method you will paint
concepts and symbols
overcome and passion
pleasure and pain
love and death.

We shall not say goodbye
poet Theo Aggelopoulos
