This is beautiful.

You know, I'm from Greece and I always wondered how our language sounds off to others. When I asked various people in my travels abroad, they all said that it's closer to Italian but I wouldn't really know.

(Also, this poem must be by Kavafis, I think I recognized it. As is your fic's title, such a powerful poem. Sorry, I'm rambling!)

Schoolmasters, historical setting, CAVAFY!

I love this! Wonderfully written.

I'm wondering about the remainder of the story though. When you say part III and IV will be available shortly, do you mean 'almost written, post in a week or two' or is it more like 'beta giving the parts a once over, post in a few hours, day tops' ?

Being final-beta'd, up tonight/tomorow. New Year just tripped us up. :D

Thanks for giving it a go anyway, and I'm glad you like the beginning.

Loving this! Can't wait for the rest!
