A unique voice in the literary landscape of 20th-century Europe, Cavafy has the extraordinary ability to explore his interior world of passions and emotions in lyrical evocations of beautful men and illicit rendezvous, such as ‘One Night’, ‘I Have Gazed So Much’, and ‘The Café Entrance’, as well as establish a dialogue with the ancient past, such as in ‘Anna Comnena’, ‘You Did Not Understand’, ‘Ides Of March’, ‘The God Abandoning Antony’, and ‘Nero’s Deadline’.
