:54:05
I made up my mind!
:54:07
I'm leaving for Greece.
I cannot stay here.
:54:10
After so many centuries,
the Greek put on their weapons.
:54:17
What can a poet do?
:54:22
Sing the revolution,
:54:25
cry over the dead
:54:27
invoke the lost face of freedom.

The following day,
he took a boat in Venice
:55:24
and went back to Greece,
in Zante...
:55:27
his island.
:55:28
He recognised the faces,
the colours, the perfumes...
:55:32
his house...
:55:34
but he didn't know the language.
:55:37
He wanted to sing the revolution,
:55:40
but he couldn't speak
his mother's language.
:55:48
Then he started going through
the popular districts...
:55:51
the fields, the fishermen's villages,
:55:53
noting the words that he heard,
:55:56
and paying for those
that he heard for the first time.
