I was consumed by the question of why reading Cavafy moves us even when we don't fully understand why, so I tried to answer it.
I focused on the issue of time, not as a theoretical understanding of Cavafy but as a structural element of his psychological representations and his poetry, a factor of an inner arrangement that stems from the "idea" of each poem, setting aside lyrical emotions rooted in various images and impressions.
Hence the dense intersection of observations and self-commentaries in my readings of the poems.
The bet that Cavafy placed and won was the inner perception of life against the backdrop of thought.
The universal recognition of his work is due to a groundedness transformed by the time of his work into a subtlety that the wind cannot take away.
