“Ithaca gave to you the beautiful journey;
without her, you’d not have set upon the road.
But she has nothing left to give you any more.
And if you find her poor, Ithaca did not deceive you.
As wise as you’ll have become, with so much experience,
you’ll have understood, by then, what these Ithacas mean”
Ithaca, by Constantine Cavafy
