Deserted islands, broken shreds of land

held in by the Aegean's belts of noise,

you have copied Siphnos and the dry Cyclades –

their wretched loss of an archaic glory.

Or Delos, brilliant once, taught you her way, 

the first to meet the god of desolation.

– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Alistair Elliot
