The refrain “the world the small the great” is repeated in a poem in this language that considers “the first hour / when the lips still in clay / taste the things of the world.” A poem in this language ends by inviting successors to “turn the heads of the victims,” who will “school them in serenity.” A modernist poem in this language is made up of “Genesis,” “Passion,” and “Gloria” sections. An instruction to “remember the baths where you were (*) murdered” appears before the speaker “woke with this marble head in my hands” in a poem in this language, “Mythistorema.” The speaker asks “what are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?” in a poem in this language, “Waiting for the Barbarians.” For 10 points, name this language used by Constantine Cavafy. ■END■
