Reading Cavafy:
the poet of old age
and the
poet of
future generations
This is the building in which Cavafy worked. Now a hotel,
it once housed the Third Circle of Irrigation, where he dealt
with the English-language correspondence.
A view Cavafy would have seen every day. The Building where
he worked is just out of the picture to the left of the foreground.
Cavafy approaching 40, with and without
moustache, but with the same pince-nez.
The view today from the building where Cavafy worked
Cavafy
in his
apartment
“sitting
without
reading”
