Summary:

Excerpt from A Hundred Voices: And Other Poems From the Second Part of "Life Immovable" Be a new matchless song for a new Greece. To every place he mentions in these lines he has given the modern and living name instead of the classical one, which for false classicists and purists is equivalent to treason, as is the stubbornness with which the adherents of the vernacular prefer to learn from the lips Of igno rant Old peasant women rather than from the books of the wise. On this matter, Palamas is plain spoken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
