Media Reviews
"[Seferis] is a deeply civilized and profoundly Greek man who draws on the whole heritage of his people... To read Seferis is to experience a sense of honesty, a cool scorn for any kind of evasion."--Time "Seferis has a history and mythology and is a part of both, while at the same time he is a thoroughly 20th-century citizen of humanity at large... Here is a poet who has a sweep and a delicacy calling to mind Yeats and few other names of the century."--Washington Post "The serenity and fullness of the imagery, his evocation of aspects of a familiar landscape, the confident rhetorical manner, the absence of any intellectual (as against sentimental) irony--all this is immensely impressive."--New Republic "Reveals a dedication and insight which have made [these] translations the standard work for our time."--Times Literary Supplement
