ITHAKA! - A Poem Of Life's Journey By C.P. Cavafy
Read by Shane Morris
C.P. Cavafy, was a Greek poet. He is considered one of the most important figures in modern Greek poetry. Cavafy's work combines elements of Hellenistic and Byzantine traditions. Cavafy lived most of his life in Alexandria, where he worked as a civil servant and led a quiet existence. During his lifetime, Cavafy's work received little recognition, but after his death, his poems became quite famous.
"Ithaka" is one of Cavafy's most well-known poems. It is inspired by the mythological journey of Odysseus. The poem is a reflection on life's journey and the pursuit of fulfillment. Cavafy advises the reader not to be overly concerned with reaching the destination, Ithaka (representing a goal or achievement), but to embrace the experiences, challenges, and knowledge gained along the way.
The poem encourages the reader to savor the adventure, embrace the unknown, and overcome obstacles with courage and determination. It emphasizes the importance of personal growth and the wisdom gained through the journey itself, rather than focusing solely on the destination.

Deep Inspirational Poem About The Mind With No Fear - By Rabindranath Tagore
I'm here because we have to perform this INDIVIDUALLY 💔
O, my love is like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June. O, my love is like a melody, That's sweetly played in tune. As fear art thou, my bonny lass, So deep in love am I, And I will love thee still, my dear, ‘Till all the seas gang dry. Till all the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt with the sun! And I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands of life shall run. And fare thee well, my only love, And fare thee well a while! And I will come again, my love, Through it were ten thousand mile!

Speech: “To be, or not to be, that is the question” By William Shakespeare Share (from Hamlet, spoken by Hamlet) To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die-to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream-ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause-there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th'unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.

Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines. And often is his gold complexion dimmed. And every fair from fair sometimes declines. By chance or natures exchanging course untrimmed
Amazing Voice! I really love it!
My favorite poet William sheakpare I love poetry.
Not my "dad"..
I like sonnet 116 a lot, it’s like he’s lost or wanting to be like other people but at the same time more or less observing others and wishing he had their cooler traits.
I feel like at first he’s saying he doesn’t want to judge, but I think he’s just trying to keep himself humble.
I think he’s also saying that you have to be strong to overcome and turmoil that comes your way.
I love what he says about love, because to me it sounds like he’s saying that no man can take that away from you!

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
For those who do not know, this is actually a line Hamlet says in "Hamlet" the play by Shakespear. Hamlet is wondering whether one should commit suicide or put up with the pains and shocks of this world. He then concludes that the only reason people bear this never-ending pain called life rather than suicide is because they are not certain about the afterlife. We don't know what's after death, hence we would rather bear this nasty world than walk ourselves to the Unknown.
Only a dad face whatever comes his way 🖤 The best of men
Profound. Thanks for posting. Grateful Aussie.
This sounds like Master Chief, delightful.
What she actually believed in, was making others suffer, by withholding donated pain meds ( “it will bring them closer to god,”), while giving herself, the best treatment that money could buy, via European doctors, flown to via private jets. My aunt and grandmother volunteered in Calcutta, and what she did to impoverished, dying people was cruel beyond measure.
This is by far my favourite poem in the beginning makes me cry 😢 I’m a father of 4 two girls and two baby boys ❤❤
Who missed ur school life when u see the first poem😢😚
Dad sacrifices a lot silently...

The title of the video is misleading. "Dreams" is by Langston Hughes, the Blake poem read is "A Poison Tree". I like the pace and tone of the reader, very embracing.
this poem makes my heart ache so much because idk if i can even answer “Yes” to any of those questions
William one day I will be like you not only that but greater a 13 yr old Swazi African child❤❤❤❤❤❤
After a long death, the darling bought me back to this man
If anyone is trying to find the author for the first poem, don't, it from paper written in 1903 called The Lutheran Observer, you can do a Google book search with the poem text to see it. Wish there was a single video of the poem.
Omg....that is soooo goooood.....❤❤❤
You see it's a very special bra I have to have! All the ones in the market, even though , that's been over a space of a lifetime, are a torture to me. I try to redo them to fit these jugs , only to be disappointed, and my new bra, that's taken me years to buy, is destroyed! So, I always end up with only one bra; and carrying around these heavy, feel like jars! The bras, either make my breast swing down and dangle like a balloon, build a hill of tension in my shoulders and neck, that send me into a world of pain, and stress! So much these different types of bras do, to torture me! Most of all, they unlock my sciatic nerve, bang on my hamstrings all day! Then my buttocks and knees seem to go to the mountains and play, causing all kinds of inflammation, making me bend over with scrutiny pain!!!! I still have to give my daily offering and sacrifice to Jehovah God, my High Priest Jesus Christ ,perform all of my duties, care for my Sister, Seek the kingdom, seek relief; and at the end of each day, touching base with my closest contacts, even though only two, answer back! They are my encouragement and joy, along with our God given Bible study I share! Scrolling down UA-cam lane, stopping occasionally at LMN Christian Movie - Fame, hoping to hear someone who can relate, to what I am facing, and can help me run this race! A glass of grape or white grape 100% juice will do, hot coco, or black coffee, wait a minute, I still have clothes soaking in the sink, to ring out too! This is an every day life of hell, including the dangerous fireworks outside, I've cut my own grass and the hedge bushes and limbs too; for twenty years, up until last year! That's when they started sending a dog to stop my joy, and since the Holy Scriptures say: beware of and evil workers, and dogs! I have to pay someone else to do it, and still can't find anyone to trim my hedges and cut the tree limbs. So, every day , it's meditating on Jesus' words, that feeds my soul, telling him my problems, and hoping once again, he heals me, have mercy, and make me whole! Still Waiting for him and his presence, to show up as I praise him! So he can still the enemy of my soul; and cause him to fall down and go back! Even though tomorrow is a new day, They will be back again; but I will still cry Holy and thank you Lord Jesus! Even through all the pains and trials, Lord God Jehovah, I give you the Glory; and thanks to Lord Jesus and his followers! He has still, been so good to me! Even while I sleep, he makes it a gift to me, with sweet, peaceful, sleep! Adventurous, dreams and so I give thanks, to thee oh Lord, my healer, savior, deliverer, and great Friend I am still waiting on you! In Christ Alone! PDW in Christ
❤❤
I would prefer to hear them spoken with an English accent.
Where are you from
This is a garbage poem imo
My great inspiration is William Shakespeare. These poems are so sweet and heartfelt
When you live in another country as a foreigner and don't know anyone, sometimes days go by without the opportunity to be kind to others, to see them and help them. You cannot help others because you yourself are trying to 'float'. When you count a lot of days, you wonder if it makes sense to live without all those "ordinary things" sincere smiles and grateful faces that you left at home and went further into the world chasing new goals. Then one realizes the value of all the things mentioned in the poem.
Your words are POETIC. Love it...
There are no more sincere smiles and true connections
I can feel you
