| From The Complete Poems of Cavafy, copyright 1961, renewal 1989 by Rae Dalven. Much of the nineteenth and early twentieth-century city of Forster, Cavafy and Durrell remains near the oval eastern harbour, the mouth of which is still guarded by Fort Qaitbey, built in the base of the fabulous Pharos lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. For the Alexandrian Cavafy, alienation is inherent in the Greek city on Egyptian soil; return is necessarily ahistorical and metaphorical. |
