Here you will find the Poem The Greeks planned for war of poet Osip Emilevich Mandelstam
The Greeks planned for war On the delightful island of Salamis. From the harbor of Athens, you could see it Seized by the enemy's hand. And now our friends the islanders Are fitting out our ships. Earlier the English didn't love The sweet European soil. O, Europe, new Hellas, Save the Acropolis and Pireus. We do not need the island's gifts, A forest of uninvited ships.
