Wunderbare Fotografie. Nach langer Zeit haben sie die Scheiben wieder repariert und Athena ist wieder "heile", mal sehen wann es die Stadt, das Land wird.
People often talk about a mixture of the old and the new in a city. In the case of Athens, it is a mixture of the ancient and the new. Good work, Monika.
Modern und alte Geschichte, schöne Fotos, Byron interessantes Leben, sein Engagements für die Unabhängigkeitsbewegung, schönes Denkmal, ich beschäftige mich z.Z. mit den Griechischen 7 Inseln.
Maid of Athens, ere we part, Give, oh, give back my heart! Or, since that has left my breast, Keep it now, and take the rest! Hear my vow before I go, Zoe mou sas agapo.
By those tresses unconfined, Wooed by each Aegean wind; By those lids whose jetty fringe Kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge; By those wild eyes like the roe, Zoe mou sas agapo.
By that lip I long to taste; By that zone-encircled waist; By all the token-flowers that tell What words can never speak so well; By love's alternate joy and woe, Zoe mou sas agapo.
Maid of Athens! I am gone: Think of me, sweet! when alone. Though I fly to Istambol, Athens holds my heart and soul: Can I cease to love thee? Zoe mou sas agapo.
PS. Zoe mou sas agapo ==> I love you my Zoe (What a gentle way to express his pure love to the beautiful maid of Athens ..)
Lovely reflections Monika and a great view of Athens.

ReplyDeleteΗ όψη της σύγχρονης Αθήνας με πληγώνει παρόλο που έχει κρυμμένες ομορφιές!

Maid of Athens, ere we part (1809)-
Maid of Athens, ere we part,
Give, oh, give back my heart!
Or, since that has left my breast,
Keep it now, and take the rest!
Hear my vow before I go,
Zoe mou sas agapo.
By those tresses unconfined,
Wooed by each Aegean wind;
By those lids whose jetty fringe
Kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge;
By those wild eyes like the roe,
Zoe mou sas agapo.
By that lip I long to taste;
By that zone-encircled waist;
By all the token-flowers
that tell What words can never speak so well;
By love's alternate joy and woe,
Zoe mou sas agapo.
Maid of Athens! I am gone:
Think of me, sweet! when alone.
Though I fly to Istambol,
Athens holds my heart and soul:
Can I cease to love thee?
Zoe mou sas agapo.
PS. Zoe mou sas agapo ==> I love you my Zoe (What a gentle way to express his pure love to the beautiful maid of Athens ..)
