Cavafy - Complete Poems-Knopf Doubleday - Category: #books ## Highlights - You’ll ɹnd no new places, you won’t ɹnd other shores. The city will follow you. The streets in which you pace will be the same, you’ll haunt the same familiar places, and inside those same houses you’ll grow old. You’ll always end up in this city. Don’t bother to hope for a ship, a route, to take you somewhere else; they don’t exist. Just as you’ve destroyed your life, here in this small corner, so you’ve wasted it through all the world (Page 75)
