0:00:44.120,0:00:48.200
As you set out for Ithaca

0:00:48.200,0:00:52.268
hope that your journey is a long one,

0:00:52.268,0:00:57.144
full of adventure, full of discovery.

0:00:57.144,0:01:02.000
Laistrygonians and Cyclops, angry Poseidon

0:01:02.000,0:01:04.638
do not be afraid of them.

0:01:07.992,0:01:12.320
You'll never find things like that on your way

0:01:12.320,0:01:17.240
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,

0:01:17.240,0:01:25.800
as long as a rare sensasion touches your spirit & your body.

0:01:25.800,0:01:31.145
Laistrygonians and Cyclops, wild Poseidon,

0:01:31.145,0:01:35.080
you won't encounter them

0:01:35.080,0:01:40.960
unless you bring them along inside your soul,

0:01:40.960,0:01:48.520
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

0:01:48.520,0:01:54.219
Hope that your journey is a long one.

0:01:54.219,0:01:59.040
May there be many summer mornings when,

0:01:59.040,0:02:04.480
with what pleasure, what joy,

0:02:04.480,0:02:09.320
you'll come into harbors you're seeing for the first time;

0:02:09.320,0:02:13.724
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations

0:02:13.724,0:02:16.720
to buy fine things,

0:02:16.720,0:02:22.240
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,

0:02:22.240,0:02:26.880
sensual perfume of every kind-

0:02:26.880,0:02:32.880
as many sensual perfumes as you can;

0:02:32.880,0:02:36.960
and may you visit many Egyptian cities

0:02:36.960,0:02:45.256
to learn and learn again from those who know.

0:02:45.256,0:02:51.280
Keep Ithaca always in your mind.

0:02:51.280,0:02:56.170
Arriving there is what you're destined for.

0:02:56.170,0:02:59.760
But don't hurry the journey at all.

0:02:59.760,0:03:03.484
Better if it lasts for years,

0:03:03.534,0:03:08.720
so that you're old by the time you reach the island,

0:03:08.720,0:03:14.003
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,

0:03:14.053,0:03:20.200
not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

0:03:20.200,0:03:24.336
Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.

0:03:24.336,0:03:29.800
Without her you would not have set out.

0:03:29.800,0:03:33.920
She has nothing left to give you now.

0:03:33.920,0:03:41.402
And if you find her poor, Ithaca won't have fooled you.

0:03:41.402,0:03:46.800
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

0:03:46.800,0:03:50.520
you will have understood by then

0:03:50.520,0:04:01.520
what these Ithacas mean.
