Μες την υπόγεια την ταβέρνα,
μες σε καπνούς και σε βρισιές,
απάνου εστρίγγλιζε η λατέρνα
όλη η παρέα πίναμε ψές,
εψές, σαν όλα τα βραδάκια,
να πάνε κάτου τα φαρμάκια.
Ιn the underground tavern,
amidst the fog, amidst insults and yelling,
while the street organ was still screaming,
me and my friends were drinking yesterday,
yesterday, just like every other day,
struggling to accept our bitter fate.

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or style:
“Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Carlyle must undoubtedly plead guilty to the charge of mannerism. He not only has his vein, but his peculiar manner of working it. He has a style which can be imitated, and sometimes is an imitator of himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
