The latest chapter was incredible. Now my poor fic look so nude and humble ;)
I'm starting from the obvious in greek: The alphabet. When I studyied theology they offer greek as a complementary class, I was a chicken then, and decided not to takeitm just for avoid failing (stuoid, stupid, stupid).
Now I discover this amazing poet, Kavafis (Or Cavafis) and I freak:
Read this one:
So much I gazed -- So much I gazed on beauty, that my vision is replete with it.
Contours of the body. Red lips. Voluptuous limbs. Hair as if taken from greek statues; always beautiful, even when uncombed, and it falls, slightly, over white foreheads. Faces of love, as my poetry wanted them.... in the nights of my youth, in my nights, secretly, met....

My clases I get them here.
