Stratis myrivilis biography of mahatma

  • So my—three or four of my translations of Kazantzakis novels and also a marvel novel by a man called [Stratis] Myrivilis are antiwar novels.
  • Of Stratis Myrivilis, the famous Greek writer who came from the village.
  • The Story of My Experiments with Truth - Mahatma Gandhi; Winning Stratis Myrivilis in Hebrew.

    This happened long ago, before the onset
    of universal genetic correctness.

     

    Boys and girls would stand naked before mirrors
    studying the defects of their structure.

     

    Nose too long, ears like burdocks,
    sunken chin just like a mongoloid.

     

    Breasts too small, too large, lopsided shoulders,
    penis too short, hips too broad or else too narrow.

     

    Such was the house they inhabited for life.

     

    Hiding, feigning, concealing defects.

     

    But somehow they still had to find a partner.

     

    Following incomprehensible tastes –– airy creatures
    paired with potbellies, skin and bones enamored of salt pork.

     

    They had a saying then: 'Even monsters
    have their mates.'  So perhaps they learned to tolerate their partner's flaws, trusting that theirs would be forgiven in turn.

     

    Not every genetic error meets with such
    disgust that crowds might spit on them and stone them.

     

    As it happened in the city of K, where the town council
    voted to exile a girl

     

    But let's not yearn for the days of prenormalization.
    Just think of the torments, the anxieties, the sweat,
    the wiles needed to entice, in spite of all.
