Χωρίς περίσκεψιν, χωρίς λύπην, χωρίς αιδώ
μεγάλα κι υψηλά τριγύρω μου έκτισαν τείχη.
[...] Αλλά δεν άκουσα ποτέ κρότον κτιστών ή ήχον.
Ανεπαισθήτως μ’ έκλεισαν από τον κόσμον έξω.- Chorís perískepsin, chorís lýpin, chorís aidó
megála ki ypsilá trigýro mou éktisan teíchi.
[...] Allá den ákousa poté króton ktistón í íchon.
Anepaisthítos m’ ékleisan apó ton kósmon éxo. - With no consideration, no pity, no shame,
they have built walls around me, thick and high.
But I never heard the builders, not a sound.
Imperceptibly they have closed me off from the outside world.
