Ithaka

Signifying home & relief from hardship albeit by not very much

Ithaka is a hard, rugged little isle like many other such

To which nostos, too, is a Siren, so all kleos remind

We sojourn as Cyclops, return wholly blind.

Envoi-

Since what it shadowed was last harrowed & sheltered Helen raped

Prince! Every Oikos is an Egypt, no Sphinx has escaped
