From Plutarch to Leonard Cohen 3

view of the absence of answers, I'll just post the collected texts, without further comment, so do not waste time unnecessarily. Anyone who wants to, can read and think about it alone. Let us begin with

an invisible procession going by
with exquisite music, voices,
don’t mourn your luck that’s failing now,
work gone wrong, your plansall proving deceptive
—don’t mourn them uselessly.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
say goodbye to her, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Above all, don’t fool yourself, don’t say
it was a dream, your ears deceived you:
don’t degrade yourself with empty hopes like these.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
as is right for you who proved worthy of this kind of city,

go firmly to the window and listen with deep emotion, but not
with the whining, the Pleas of a coward;
listen-your final delectation-to the voices, to the exquisite music of
That strange procession, and say goodbye
to her, to the Alexandria you are losing.

suddenly, at midnight, heard

passing with exquisite music, with voices-
your luck that fails you now, your works that
failed, the plans of your life
who took all errors, not anofeleta mourn.
As long prepared, as if courageous,
bid her farewell, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Above all do not fool yourself, do not say it was
a dream, that your ears deceived you ·
such vain hopes not to stoop.
As long prepared, as if courageous,
like fits that have been worthy of such a city,
steadily approached the window,
and with emotion, but not
to the entreaties of cowards and complaints,
most recently, enjoying,
the exquisite instruments of the mystical troupe,
and bid her farewell, the Alexandria you are losing.
