Troglodytes

"Perhaps only a poet of Greek origin, who creates in the manner of his master Elytis could, using and renewing the conventions of Ode and Epode, Strophe and Antistrophe and an imagery that "unfolds like the fragrance of white hyacinths to the end of space" write a Eulogy to the loss of Logos."

Logos– dwells over the chaos breeze hovering on the plains and crudest earthly essence becomes gamma benevolent concept; logos with God in light of God flame like a dancing serpent mysterious shadows on a cave wall and conscience concept the fourth. Logos– shoulders like an Atlas all ephemeral only to emerge as His first thought: a primeval in the entrance of the cave an obscure shadow, the troglodyte outlining a human and this hymn the omega concept.
