Cavafy’s erotic poems burn with an unbridled sexuality, but despite that and their romantic trappings of decadence and perdition, they are curiously cold, maintaining the rational distance of an intelligence that governs the outpouring of passion and the feasting of the instincts. At the same time that he represents this ardor in verse, he observes it, studies it, and, with form as his tool, perfects and eternalizes it.
Los poemas eróticos de Cavafis arden de una sensualidad desbocada y, pese a ello, y a su utilería romántica de decadencia y malditismo, son sin embargo curiosamente fríos, con cierta distancia racional, la de una inteligencia que gobierna la efusión de las pasiones y la fiesta de los instintos, y, a la vez que la representa en el verso, la observa, la estudia y, valiéndose de la forma, la perfecciona y eterniza.

Saludando con el sombrero desde el coche desvencijado, el general no podía menos que verse a sí mismo bajo una luz de lástima, al comparar aquella recepción indigente con su entrada triunfal a Caracas en agosto de 1813, coronado de laureles en una carroza tirada por las seis doncellas más hermosas de la ciudad, y en medio de una muchedumbre bañada en lágrimas que aquel día lo eternizó con su nombre de gloria: El Libertador.
