Tying my tie this morning, I admitted to myself that every power on earth will be moved to derail this referendum from ever taking place. I hadn't figured on the Prime Minister's own Party taking up the knife as well, as The New York Times was reporting by mid-morning, Eastern North American time. I can assure you, this drama is being watched as being not only Greek.
The peripateticism of your caryatids seems a standing semaphore of your politics. Writing to his friend Henry Miller in March of '45, less than 3 months after the "December events," Durrell (then a British propaganda officer) spoke of "defending the Acropolis caryatid by caryatid against the rest of Greece." Possibly they do not care for a quarrel in the family? But here the pressure for a schism seems external again, and not just coincidentally so -- to the alien eye.
a greek drama always captivates the audience!

ReplyDeleteOur Prime minister should have noticed the Caryatide missing from the Erechtheion!
