A Poem A Day (Day 6): "The God Abandons Antony" by C. P. Cavafy

To hear Leonard Cohen's exquisite adaptation, click here: "Alexandra Leaving"

Note: a buddy of mine just criticized my pronunciation of "delectation," but I don't care what the dictionaries say. I've been pronouncing it with a short "e" for many years, and I will fight for that. For me, delectation requires that delectable short "e."
