Denial (Greek: Άρνηση) is a poem by Giorgos Seferis (1900–1971) published in his collection ''Turning Point'' (Στροφή "Strophe") in 1931. After the coup that overthrew the Greek government in 1967, Seferis went into voluntary seclusion and many of his poems were banned, including the musical versions which Mikis Theodorakis had written and arranged. ''Denial'' came to be the anthem of resistance to the regime and was sung by the enormous crowds lining the streets at Seferis' funeral. DENIAL (translation by Edmund Keeley and Phillip Sherrard ) On the secret seashore white like a pigeon we thirsted at noon; but the water was brackish. On the golden sand we wrote her name; but the sea-breeze blew and the writing vanished. With what spirit, what heart, what desire and passion we lived our life: a mistake! So we changed our life. ΑΡΝΗΣΗ Στο περιγιάλι το κρυφό κι άσπρο σαν περιστέρι διψάσαμε το μεσημέρι· μα το νερό γλυφό. Πάνω στην άμμο την ξανθή γράψαμε τ' όνομά της· ωραία που φύσηξεν ο μπάτης και σβήστηκε η γραφή. Mε τι καρδιά, με τι πνοή, τι πόθους και τι πάθος, πήραμε τη ζωή μας· λάθος! κι αλλάξαμε ζωή. ==Sources== *''George Seferis'', Edmund Keeley, Philip Sherrard (Editor) -- (Paperback - 3 July, 1995) ISBN 0-691-01491-4 *''George Seferis: Complete Poems George Seferis'', Edmund Keeley (Translator), Philip Sherrard (Translator) ISBN 0-85646-214-4 *''A Poet's Journal: Days of 1945-1951'', George Seferis, Athanasios Anagnostopoulos (Translator) 1583485341 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denial (poem)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
