Constantine P. Cavafy - Walls

Constantine P. Cavafy - Walls

With no consideration, no pity, no shame, br they have built walls around me, thick and high. br And now I sit here feeling hopeless. br I can't think of anything else: this fate gnaws my mind - br because I had so much to do outside. br When they were building the walls, how could I not have noticed! br But I never heard the builders, not a sound. br Imperceptibly they have closed me off from the outside world.br br Constantine P.
