The sweetness Of homecoming

From Carmina Archilochi: The Fragments of Archilochos translated by Guy Davenport.

How Many Times
by Archilochos

How many times,
How many times,
On the grey sea,
The sea combed
By the wind
Like a wilderness
Of woman’s hair,
Have we longed,
Lost in nostalgia,
For the sweetness
Of homecoming.
