Читать книгу Between Terror and Tourism - Michael Mewshaw - Страница 5

Many Egyptian cities may you visit

that you may learn, and go on learning, from their sages.

Always in your mind keep Ithaca.

To arrive there is your destiny.

But do not hurry your trip in any way.

Better that it last for many years;

that you drop anchor at the island an old man,

rich with all you’ve gotten along the way,

not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

—From “Ithaca,” by C.P. Cavafy
