C.P.Cavafy
As Much As You Can

And if you can’t make your life as you’d wish it,
try, at the very least, to accomplish this much:
do not make it less than what it already is
by mixing too excessively with the masses,
by hanging around and endlessly chattering.


Don’t cheapen your life by parading it around,
hauling it everywhere and laying it out there
for the dreary humbug of familiars and fellowship,
until it comes to feel like a curious dead weight.

(C.P. Cavafy, The Canon.
Translated from the Greek by Stratis Haviaras,
Hermes Publishing, 2004)
