<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Quando partires de regresso a Ítaca, <br />deves orar por uma viagem longa, <br />plena de aventuras e de experiências. <br />Ciclopes, Lestregónios, e mais monstros, <br />um Poseidon irado – não os temas, <br />jamais encontrarás tais coisas no caminho, <br />se o teu pensar for puro, e se um sentir sublime <br />teu corpo toca e o espírito te habita. <br />Ciclopes, Lestregónios, e outros monstros, <br />Poseidon em fúria – nunca encontrarás, <br />se não é na tua alma que os transportes, <br />ou ela os não erguer perante ti.</p>
<p>Deves orar por uma viagem longa. <br />Que sejam muitas as manhãs de Verão, <br />quando, com que prazer, com que deleite, <br />entrares em portos jamais antes vistos!</p>
<p>Em colónias fenícias deverás deter-te <br />para comprar mercadorias raras: <br />coral e madrepérola, âmbar e marfim, <br />e perfumes subtis de toda a espécie: <br />compra desses perfumes quanto possas. <br />E vai ver as cidades do Egipto, <br />para aprenderes com os que sabem muito. <br />Terás sempre Ítaca no teu espírito, <br />que lá chegar é o teu destino último. <br />Mas não te apresses nunca na viagem. <br />É melhor que ela dure muitos anos, <br />que sejas velho já ao ancorar na ilha, <br />rico do que foi teu pelo caminho, <br />e sem esperar que Ítaca te dê riquezas.</p>
<p>Ítaca deu-te essa viagem esplêndida. <br />...</p>
<p><em>(English translation)</em></p>
<p>When you set out for Ithaka<br />ask that your way be long,<br />full of adventure, full of instruction.<br />The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops,<br />angry Poseidon - do not fear them:<br />such as these you will never find<br />as long as your thought is lofty, as long as a rare<br />emotion touch your spirit and your body.<br />The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops,<br />angry Poseidon - you will not meet them<br />unless you carry them in your soul,<br />unless your soul raise them up before you.<br />Ask that your way be long.<br />At many a Summer dawn to enter<br />with what gratitude, what joy -<br />ports seen for the first time;<br />to stop at Phoenician trading centers,<br />and to buy good merchandise,<br />mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,<br />and sensuous perfumes of every kind,<br />sensuous perfumes as lavishly as you can;<br />to visit many Egyptian cities,<br />to gather stores of knowledge from the learned.<br />Have Ithaka always in your mind.<br />Your arrival there is what you are destined for.<br />But don't in the least hurry the journey.<br />Better it last for years,<br />so that when you reach the island you are old,<br />rich with all you have gained on the way,<br />not expecting Ithaka to give you wealth.<br />Ithaka gave you a splendid journey.<br /><br />...<br /></p>
