why should it be? search not for ithaka on your voyage... for ithaka is but of the past memory. to there return, all your springs you'll exhaust, tame in feeling, wild summers lost. A thousand unborn eyes will weep your misery Lamenting your broken soul’s destiny. For the gods take away the life they give and spoil the beauty they made live. The ashes of a fire no flame can burn… so why a lifeless color should you become, that leaving Xaros hauls on his back, leaving the world hollow with thy lack? A wild tiger’s fate can not be that! May Thetis guide you to Delos without delay, Far from the gloomy whirlwinds of hurt’s dismay That since ever, you captive in exile hold, And from her divine waters a new heart mold. When you set off on your journey home, In the soothing embrace of Thetis foam let your heart guide you and behold. For Poseidon shall lead our ships to cross at sea So I may catch a glimpse of thee... whole." ....A Portuguesa
