[\/half] [half_last] Ithaca<\/span>
\nWhen you set out on your journey to Ithaca,<\/p>\n

pray that the road is long,<\/p>\n

full of adventure, full of knowledge.<\/p>\n

The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,<\/p>\n

the angry Poseidon — do not fear them:<\/p>\n

You will never find such as these on your path,<\/p>\n

if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine<\/p>\n

emotion touches your spirit and your body.<\/p>\n

The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,<\/p>\n

the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,<\/p>\n

if you do not carry them within your soul,<\/p>\n

if your soul does not set them up before you.<\/p>\n

Pray that the road is long.<\/p>\n

That the summer mornings are many, when,<\/p>\n

with such pleasure, with such joy<\/p>\n

you will enter ports seen for the first time;<\/p>\n

stop at Phoenician markets,<\/p>\n

and purchase fine merchandise,<\/p>\n

mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,<\/p>\n

and sensual perfumes of all kinds,<\/p>\n

as many sensual perfumes as you can;<\/p>\n

visit many Egyptian cities,<\/p>\n

to learn and learn from scholars.<\/p>\n

Always keep Ithaca in your mind.<\/p>\n

To arrive there is your ultimate goal.<\/p>\n

But do not hurry the voyage at all.<\/p>\n

It is better to let it last for many years;<\/p>\n

and to anchor at the island when you are old,<\/p>\n

rich with all you have gained on the way,<\/p>\n

not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches.<\/p>\n

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.<\/p>\n

Without her you would have never set out on the road.<\/p>\n

She has nothing more to give you.<\/p>\n

And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not deceived you.<\/p>\n

Wise as you have become, with so much experience,<\/p>\n

you must already have understood what Ithacas mean.<\/p>\n
