“Keep Ithaka always in mind. Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey at all. Better if it goes on for years so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’re gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich… And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you. Wise as you’ll have become, and so experienced, you’ll have understood by then what an Ithaka means.”

— C.P. Cavafy, “Ithaka,” from Selected Poems (translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard)

#One of my favorite poems!#Apologies if the line breaks are missing... I think Tumblr's formatting changes have messed up old poetry posts

Automedon with the Horses of Achilles by Henri Regnault. French, 1868. Oil on canvas. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

From the MFA:

Regnault’s painting illustrates a story from Homer’s Iliad. Automedon, chariot driver for the Greek warrior Achilles, restrains the horses Xanthos (behind) and Balios, two beasts who could predict the future. As Regnault wrote, “the horses, aware that their master [Achilles] is taking them into combat, and that this combat will be the last and will cost him his life, struggle and wrest with the groom who has come to take them from their pasture. One of them, chestnut brown, rises like a great dark phantom, outlining himself against the sky. I wanted to give the picture a foretaste of disaster.”
