101 years from his birth, holding papers, with poems flying around,
Odysseas Elytis is depicted in his trademark sailor's cap with
the Olive Tree, the Vine and the Boat, that can be used to rebuild Greece...
Odysseas Elytis is depicted in his trademark sailor's cap with

essentially Greek images as meaningful and powerful as his timeless poetry
If you take Greece
apart,
In
the end you will be left with
an olive tree, a
vineyard and a boat...
which means that with
these items
you
can rebuild Greece...
Odysseas Elytis, Nobel Prize for Literature, 1979
Εάν αποσυνθέσεις
την Ελλάδα,
στο
τέλος θα δεις
να σου απομένουν
μια ελιά, ένα αμπέλι κι
ένα καράβι....
Που σημαίνει:
με άλλα τόσα την ξαναφτιάχνεις....
Οδυσσέας
Ελύτης
At Global Greek World, We ♥ Greece...and it shows!
