Monotony
C.P. Cavafy (tr. Dalven)
One monotonous day follows another
identical monotony. The same things
will happen, they will happen again --
the same moments find us and leave us.
A month passes and ushers in another month.
One can easily guess the coming events;
they are those tedious ones of yesterday.
And the morrow ends by not resembling a morrow.
