“red lips of such intoxication
that now as I write, after so many years,
in my lonely house, I’m drunk with passion again.”

– The first commercial edition of Cavafy’s work was published in 1935, two years after his death, edited by Rika Sengopoulou. #poetry #WorldBookDay pic.twitter.com/RWGVHLf7Oh
