This early love poem by Giorgos Seferis became, under the Greek Colonels' régime, an anthem of liberation:
Denial
On the secret seashore
white like a pigeon
we thirsted at noon;
but the water was brackish.
On the golden sand
we wrote her name;
but the sea-breeze blew
and the writing vanished.
With what spirit, what heart,
what desire and passion
we lived our life! a mistake!
so we changed our life...

Nope - cos unjustified text is OK. It's fully justified text that Blogger or I seem to have a problem with - probably me as I am only computer demi-semi-literate!
