N.G. Pentzikis:

From studying the monuments of our religious tradition, I have drawn conclusions about the symmetrically unsymmetrical and about the fact that an uneven square may be geometrically more correct than an even one, about rhythm as the basic element explaining the world and human life…- N.G. Pentzikis

Annunciation / Ευαγγελισμός A Poem by Tasos Leivaditis


He was, no doubt, always a little strange — he lived
in the room next door—  but that night he came out on the

street with a lamp— ‘What  are looking for?’ I  asked

him—‘The Mother of God’ he said to me—in that

incomprehensible language of those

who give meaning to an entire era.

Translated by N.N. Trakakis


Ήταν βέβαια λίγο παράξενος, έμενε στο διπλανό δωμάτιο,
όμως εκείνη τη νύχτα βγήκε στο δρόμο κρατώντας μια λάμπα,
"τί γυρεύεις;" του λέω, "τη Θεοτόκο" μού λέει- στην
ακατάληπτη γλώσσα εκείνων που δίνουν νόημα σε μια εποχή

Γιώργος Σικελιώτης. Ο Ευαγγελισµός
