As you set out for Ithaka - hope your road is a long one - full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops, - angry Poseidon - don't be afraid of them: - you'll never find things like that on your way - as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, - as long as a rare excitement - stirs your spirit and your body.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you'll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
