The twenty has been updated.http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1844462/1/
The chapter was outstanding. It left me so moved that I need to wait a little before reading GaN, like breath first and then go to my other favorite.

I start learning greek, a long caress desire. I found a site with basic greek lessons. I want to read my new love, Cavafis, in his language. Hope I have the persistance as to go through the classes till the end, but I'm very motivated. Then...latin, if I dare pick declinations and stuff.

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.
