Turns out David Hockney did an etching series inspired by Cavafy’s poetry.

Kurtag’s “Stele” in full. Imagine this in a new, hand-drawn Fantasia…
"There are two main Celtic language branches: Insular (splitting off into Welsh, Irish, Manx etc.) and Continental (all the extinct languages like Gaulish that Daeres talked about). Though we don’t really know much about Continental Celtic languages, it’s pretty well established that they were very similar to the Italic languages. In a battle with Gauls during Julius Caesar’s conquest of that region, he had to write his orders in Greek in case they were intercepted by Gauls, who would be able to read his Latin."
— a response to Daeres, an anonymous historian from Reddit whose handle makes him sound like a distinguished Antique author.
It’s funny how much cheap graphics can look like a modern painting. I’ve really been digging Gyorgy Kurtag lately. His “Stele” is monumental. (wink wink, nudge nudge)
