The City

I read this poem some time ago. Cavafy has his moments, and this is definitely one of them. The line "This city will always pursue you" is one I thought about all summer during my road trip. As always, good choice in verse, Sam. :)

Cavafy is great. There's a new edition with an intro by James Merrill, my thesis poet.
