On Hearing Of Love Poem by Constantine P. Cavafy

On Hearing Of Love

Rating: 2.7


On hearing about great love, respond, be moved
like an aesthete. Only, fortunate as you've been,
remember how much your imagination created for you.
This first, and then the rest
that you experienced and enjoyed in your life:
the less great, the more real and tangible.
Of loves like these you were not deprived.
