Waiting for the Barbarians
What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum? The barbarians are to arrive today. Why such inaction in the Senate? Because the barbarians are to arrive today. Why did our emperor wake up so early, Because the barbarians are to arrive today. Why have our two consuls and the praetors come out Because the barbarians are to arrive today, Why don't the worthy orators come as always Because the barbarians are to arrive today; Why all of a sudden this unrest Because night is here but the barbarians have not come. And now what shall become of us without any barbarians? Constantine P. Cavafy (1904) posted by Simon on 03.29.08 at 07:53 AM |
