23 august 2011I said to a gypsy girl
I want to be a gypsy and have you. Can you eat bitter herbs with no salt I can, I said to her. Can you lie down she said I can, I said to her. And on that mud she said to me And that too if I can, I said to her. Can you throw my ashes No, I cannot do that, I said to her. You will not make a gypsy, she told me. - Georgis Pavlopoulos, trans. Peter Levi
