THREE PALMS TREE.

My grandfather sometimes said : That’s life !!!

Fryday, March 27 ,2009 .

Today has been a very sad day for me it was a hard day for feelings. Upon years ago I planted three palms tree in a country. First time morning I knew that my prince just dead.I chose this very quite and shadier place for keep mortal remaing of my adorable pets.

Last Fryday between palms tree tears come to my eyes. I used call her “Cretuca, perrica pirulina, cretuqui, and other affections things”. A very smart, clever and very happy and protector.

That For Creta. Your Always In My Mind.

ITHAKA.

As you set out for Ithaka

hope that your journey is a long one,

full of adventure, full of discovery.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,

angry Poseidon you don't be afraid of them:

you'll never find things like that on your way

as long as you keep thoughts raised high,

as long as a rare sensation

touch your spirit and your body.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,

wild Poseidon you won't encounter them

unless you bring them along inside your soul,

unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope that your journey is a long one.

May there be many summer mornings when,

with what pleasure, what joy,

you enter harbors you're seeing for the first time;

may you stop at Phoenician trading stations

to buy fine things,

mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,

sensual perfume of every kind
as many sensual perfumes as you can;

and may you visit many Egyptian cities

to learn and long again from those you know.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.

Arriving there is what you're destined for.

But don't hurry the journey at all.

Better if it lasts for years,

so you're old by the time you reach the island,

wealthy with all you've gained on the way,

not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.

Without her you wouldn't have set out.

She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you.

Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you'll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

ITHAKA By Constantine P. Cavafy.

*************************

ITACA. (Spanish Translation.)

Cuando emprendas tu viaje a Itaca
pide que el camino sea largo,
lleno de aventuras, lleno de experiencias.
no temas a los lestrigones ni a los cíclopes,
ni al colérico Poseidón,
seres tales jamás hallarás en tu camino,
si tu pensar es elevado, si selecta
es la emoción que toca tu espíritu y tu cuerpo.
Ni a los lestrigones ni a los cíclopes
ni al salvaje Poseidón encontrarás,
si no lo llevas dentro de tu alma,
si no los yergue tu alma ante tí.

Pide que el camino sea largo.
Que sean muchas las mañanas de verano
en que llegues -¡con qué placer y alegría!-
a puertos antes nunca vistos.
Detente en los emporios de Fenicia
y hazte con hermosas mercancías,
nácar y coral, ámbar y ébano
y toda suerte de perfumes voluptuosos,
cuantos más abundantes perfumes voluptuosos puedas.
Ve a muchas ciudades egipcias
a aprender de sus sabios.

Ten siempre a Itaca en tu pensamiento.
Tu llegada allí es tu destino.
Mas no apresures nunca el viaje.
mejor que dure muchos años
y atracar, viejo ya, en la isla,
enriquecido de cuanto ganaste en el camino
sin aguardar a que Itaca te enriquezca.

Itaca te brindó tan hermoso viaje.
Sin ella no habrías emprendido el camino.
Pero no tiene ya nada que darte.

Aunque la halles pobre, Itaca no te ha engañado.
Así, sabio como te has vuelto, con tanta experiencia,
entenderás ya qué significan las Itacas.
