Question
A poem written in this language claims that the “desire and passion” with which “we lived our life” was “a mistake” and ends “So we changed our life.” Edmund Keeley translated that poem from this language, which was chanted at its author’s funeral, into English as “Despair.” A poem in this language lists “mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfume” among the items the addressee should buy. A poem in this language repeats the line “hope your road is a long one.” The title group is called “a kind of solution” in the last line of a poem in this language, which asks “Why are the senators sitting there without legislating?” and “What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?” For 10 points, name this language that Constantin Cavafy used to write the poem “Ithaka.” ■END■
