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 on the way . . .

—Constantine Cavafy, from “Ithaca”

Translated by Daniel Mendelsohn
