	George Seferis
		Seferis is considered to be the most distinguished Greek poet of the pre-war generation of the 1930s.
		George Seferis (Georgios Seferiades) was born in Izmir (formerly Smyrna), Turkey.
		Seferis also expressed his fears about the triumph of commercial culture and once told of his dream in which the Parthenon was auctioned off to become an advertisement, "every column a gigantic tube of toothpaste." Seferis died on September 20, 1971.

	Giorgos Seferis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seferis would not visit Smyrna again until 1950; the sense of being an exile from his childhood home would inform much of Seferis' poetry, showing itself particularly in his interest in the story of Odysseus.
		In 1963, Seferis was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature "for his eminent lyrical writing, inspired by a deep feeling for the Hellenic world of culture." [[1]] Seferis was the first Greek to receive the prize (and the only, until Odysseas Elytis became a Nobel laureate in 1979).
		Seferis did not live to see the end of the junta in 1974, the direct result of Turkey’s invasion of Cyprus, which had been prompted by the junta’s attempt to overthrow Cyprus’ Archbishop Makarios.

	George Seferis
		George Seferis was born in Smyrna in 1900 and died in Athens in 1971.
		On the subject of his being awarded the Nobel Prize, Seferis said that through its choice the Swedish Academy "wished to express its solidarity with Greece´s ever-vital intellect" and to honour a "language spoken for centuries but having at present a limited number of speakers".
		Seferis, the poet from Asia Minor, estranged from his homeland at a very early age, perpetually feeling like a refugee, died during the Colonels´ Dictatorship, a government that only months before he had denounced internationally as tyrannical and dangerous.

	Photosynkyria 2001
		Seferis' need to see things clearly - the places, the events and the people that marked his journey through life - is perhaps the main formative power behind his work, of one substance with the desire to "speak simply" that he expressed in a poem written in 1942, during the war years.
		Following gracious donations by Maro Seferi in 1984 and Anna Lontou in 1999, the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece is now the repository of the poet's entire photographic archives.
		This collection of more than twenty-five hundred negatives of photographs taken by Seferis between 1920, when he was still a student in Paris, and the last year of his life (1971) represents more than half a century of photography.

		George Seferis, one of Greece's most important men of letters ever, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963.
		George Seferis, 1963 Literature Nobel Prize laureate, immortalized Assini, the ancient harbor near Nafplion, in his poem The King of Assini, from his collection of poems Deck Diaries B. The poem is an elegy for lost time, the insignificance of human existence, and the futility of glory and vanity.
		The King of Assini, who used to rule over this Mycenaean stronghold, Seferis seems to say, and surely was a powerful man in his time, and made decisions that affected people's lives, is vanished, gone, dissappeared but for a mention in the Iliad.

		Seferis worked on his piece for three whole decades with such passion that his main character has grown so much during those years to be his creator's alter ego.
		Seferis' passion for Loukia Fotopoulou, the woman some called eccentric due to her liberal sexual beliefs, has overshadowed even the "first great love of his life," French Jacqueline.

	The Nation, 02/07/1972 - George Seferis: Part I by Burford, William
		...Seferis brings the tradition singularly and hauntingly to life in a passage from an essay, "Letter to a Foreign Friend," that he wrote from Ankara in 1948 in tribute to T. Eliot (but not in entire tribute), remembering the London of 1931...
		...Seferis writes about the London in which he found this poem:, I remember the time-it now seems so long ago-when I was making my first faltering discovery of London, which I thought of as a gigantic seaport, and of the English language, whose music sounded so much more fluid than that of our own tongue...
		...Seferis is not principally valuable because he revived in some theoretical sense what we still call the Greek or Classical tradition...

		Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963, George Seferis (1900-71) has long been recognized as a major international figure, and Keeley and Sherrard are his ideal translators.
		Although Seferis was preoccupied with his tradition as few other poets of the same generation were with theirs, and although he was actively engaged in the immediate political aspirations of his nation, his value for readers lies in what he made of this preoccupation and this engagement in fashioning a broad poetic vision.

		One of the essays, “Delphi”, written two years before Seferis won the 1963 Nobel Prize, was discussed by Diskin Clay, Professor of Classical Studies at Duke University in the lecture “Seferis’ Delphi: 1961” at the Foundation for Hellenic Culture in New York, October 2.
		Diskin, who met Seferis just before the poet died in 1971 at the age of seventy-one, introduced his topic saying that more than any of his other essays, Seferis’s “Delphi” reveals his “complex sense of his Greek past so evident in his poetry; and what Lawrence Durrell characterized as “the spirit of the place”.

		Seferis is rather rude about draughty rooms in England,, and about the puritan Anglo-Saxon way of life, the typical smell of bacon and eggs frying in the pan, in the damp and foggy country.
		Seferis discovered and was influenced by the poetry of Yeats and Eliot: he made translations of Eliot and wrote an introduction to his work.
		Seferis thought not, (apart from some lines from “Last Stop”- “Souls shriveled up by public sins,/ Each one his rank and position, like a bird in its cage”) but it was important for him to have a job which was not related to his creative work.

		His wide travels provide the backdrop and colour for much of Seferis' writing, which is filled with the themes of alienation, wandering, and death.

	GEORGE SEFERIS - The New York Review of Books
		The last years of his life were clouded by the treatment which the present Greek regime has visited upon so many Greek citizens.
		Seferis, whose poetry was imbued with ideals of freedom and justice, could say little openly; but what he did say showed the depth of his grief and shame at what was happening in his country.
		We believe, therefore, that it would be appropriate to raise a fund in Seferis's name which could be distributed to families and dependants of political prisoners in Greece.

		Seferis, Katsibalis and Miller would gather at Katsibalis’ house on Sundays and discuss Greek literature in depth till Durell’s heart “would bleed”.
		Miller again in his “Colossus of Marousi” writes of Durell’s letters about Greece “that they were quite poetic, but ambiguous, a mixture of dream and reality, history and myth” and that “that he never dreamt that one day he would encounter the world of the Greek “light”.

		In all five songs the vocal part is written so that it could be learned 'by ear' and it does not require a classically trained voice to sing it.
		Seferis worked on Erotikos Logos from October 1920 to November 1930, so this particular short song is my fantasy of what he himself might have heard on the radio at that time.
		These songs form a personal vocabulary of passion for the Greek-born Hatzis, and are rewarding listening for anyone willing to open their feelings to his considerable expressive abilities.
