The City (poem)
''The City'' ( gr, Ἡ Πόλις) is a famous Greek philosophical poem by Constantine Cavafy. It was written in August 1894, originally entitled “Once More in the Same City.” It was then published in April 1910. Story In this poem we witness the poet's futile attempt to leave his past, in which he is trapped in, because everywhere he looks he sees "''black ruins''" of his life. He expresses the desire he had for a trip, which would make him escape from the trivial and bleak reality that is his life. It is not just a fleeting thought, as he emphasizes that he made many attempts to put into practice what he was feeling, however every effort proved useless and his desire ended up as a past reverie. As this is a philosophical poem, Cavafy wants to educate as well as warn his readers about the values of life. The poet concludes his poem by commenting that if a person has ruined their life in one place, then they have ruined it all over the planet. He believed that, if a person ...
