Constantine Peter Cavafy (/kəˈvɑːfɪ/; otherwise called Konstantin or Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis; Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης; April 29 (April 17, OS), 1863 – April 29, 1933) was an Egyptian Greek artist, columnist and government employee. His deliberately singular style earned him a place among the most essential figures in Greek verse, as well as in Western verse also.
Cavafy composed 154 lyrics, while handfuls more stayed deficient or in outline frame. Amid his lifetime, he reliably declined to formally distribute his work and wanted to share it through nearby daily papers and magazines,
or even print it out himself and give it away to anybody intrigued.
His most essential sonnets were composed after his fortieth birthday celebration, and authoritatively distributed two years after his demise.
