At home there tarries like a lurking snake,
Biding its time, a wrath unreconciled,
A wily watcher, passionate to slake,
In blood, resentment for a murdered child.
In visions of the night, like dropping rain,
Descend the many memories of pain
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
AeschylusSorrow with me, Sorrowful one!
Tell me, whose voice proclaims
Things true and sad,
Naming by all their old, unhappy names,
What drove me mad--
ESORAIS M’ HOS EKDIKA PASKHO!
