The Poem : Oblivion by LORETZOS MAVILIS

Fortunate are the dead who forget

the bitterness of life. When the sun sets

and dusk follows, do not weep for them,

no matter how deep your sorrow may be!

At such an hour the souls are thirsty and go

to οblivion's crystal-cold spring;

but the water will turn muddy,

if a tear is shed for them by the beloved.

And if they drink turbid water, they recall,

passing through fields of asphodels,

past sorrows that sleep within them.

If you cannot but weep, at sunset,

your eyes should lament for the living

who seek to forget, but cannot do so.
