Journey to Greece by Pierre Radi. I shall have paid out all the knots of my destiny at a single go without so much as a call at port. My heart filled with travelers tails, my foot ever poised on the sprang gang planks of departure and my overcautious mind ever on the lookout for reefs, imprisoned within the acute er arrests of the landscape and the links of the days bound. The same chain of rocks stretched wide to master the sudden frenzies of the sea. I shall have followed in the angry shining wakes of all the Latin ships which have set sail without me hostile to the motion that goes in the opposite direction of the earth and imperceptibly distances us from its edge. Watching my back turn to all these walled up faces, all these stony stairs, all these scarred and murmurous lips looking out over all the tangled needles of the port which stitch the cells of the clouds with the threat of the horizon. Waiting for another turn, waiting for the moorings to make up their minds. When reason no longer depends on rhyme, when fate is rendered back to the whim of chance until the day I shall have at last been able to take to the open sea. And one of those colored creless ships tacked this way in that dibbling their way from one white house to the next like fish lowered by the model glints of fishermen's flies to rush ahead under the starless load stone of night amid the wailing of the wind and the exhausted pantings of the packs of waves and then to encounter the lipid pediments of mourning at last, emerging from the depths of the severe horizon that the signal given from the east to make land on the radiant shores of Greece. And the quiet surge of these well tamed waves. A shimmer among the fingers of this huge hand extending its sovereign reach over the sea.
