Constantine P. Cavafy - Days Of 1903

I never found them again — the things so quickly lost….
the poetic eyes, the pale
face…. in the dusk of the street….

I never found them again — the things acquired quite by chance,
that I gave up so lightly;
and that later in agony I wanted.
The poetic eyes, the pale face,
those lips, I never found again.
