Odysseus Speaks
"I will tell you all of this, down to the last detail.
If you and I could have only have food and sweet wine
for the duration, feasting on and on quietly
here in your hut, leaving the work to others--
It would easily take me a full year, and even then
I would not finish my heart's tale of sorrows,
all that I have endured by the will of the gods."
The Odyssey, Book 14. Translated by Stanley Lombardo
