Quotes by George Seferis

“And a soul
if it is to know itself
must look
into its own soul:
the stranger and enemy, we've seen him in the mirror.”
― George Seferis

“My vantage point must have been somewhere between our little house and the steamer jetty. The sea was exceptionally calm. Lit up by a sun that you could have taken down and put in your knapsack. Everything: Mooring rings on the harbor wall, piles of timber, the arches of the houses, caiques, windows – all of them were faithful, in the way we describe a dog being faithful.”
― George Seferis
