      Portuguese Sea

      O salty sea, so much of whose salt
      Is Portugal’s tears! All the mothers
      Who had to weep for us to cross you!
      All the sons who prayed in vain!
      All the brides-to-be who never
      Married for you to be ours, O sea!

      Was it worth doing? Everything’s worth doing
      If the soul of the doer isn’t small.
      Whoever would go beyond the Cape
      Must go beyond sorrow.
      God placed danger and the abyss in the sea,
      But he also made it heaven’s mirror.

      Fernando Pessoa (translated by Richard Zenith)

      Ithaca

      As you set out for Ithaca
      hope that your journey is a long one,
      full of adventure, full of discovery.
      Laestrygonians and Cyclops,
      angry Poseidon-do not be afraid of them:
      you’ll never find things like that on your way
      as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
      as long as a rare sensation
      touches your spirit and your body.
      Laestrygonians and Cyclops,
      wild Poseidon-you won’t encounter them
      unless you bring them along inside your soul,
      unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

      Hope that your journey is a long one.
      May there be many summer mornings when,
      with what pleasure, what joy,
      you come into harbors you’re seeing for the first time;
      may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
      to buy fine things,
      mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
      sensual perfume of every kind-
      as many sensual perfumes as you can;
      and may you visit many Egyptian cities
      to learn and learn again from those who know.

      Keep Ithaca always in your mind.
      Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
      But don’t hurry the journey at all.
      Better if it lasts for years,
      so that you’re old by the time you reach the island,
      wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
      not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.
      Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.
      Without her you would have not set out.
      She has nothing left to give you now.

      And if you find her poor, Ithaca won’t have fooled you.
      Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
      you’ll have understood by then what these Ithacas mean.

      Poem by Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)
