1. Monologue of the Last Emperor of the Roman Empire, Constantin XI Paleologos, a translation of Monólogo do Último Imperador do Império Romano, Constantino XI Paleólogo


It´s true

And a longed for fulfilment of the hope of returning triumphantly from wistful exile

Is also now a reality!

I did hide

There

In a wall

of the Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom

I will reappear

When Constantinople

And all her shiply stern

Will be handed over by the Russian

To the Greeks

Descendents of us Romans

Expelling the Turks

The Moslems with their turbans


About,

My beloved sire

580 years

of occupation

Since the summer

Of the day of Tuesday

Of the 29th of May of 1453

Every more

Breakdowns

And afterwards

My restauration

Leaving from the wall

I will go!

The end of my tormenting
