ΤΟ ΚΆΔΡΟ ΠΟΥ ΜΙΛΆ Γλυκιά μου Άννα γεια σου. Είμαι εγώ το κάδρο που έχεις εσύ φιλοτεχνήσει με τόση αγάπη, τέχνη και πάθος. Με χάρισες στη Γιάννα μια μέρα. Η Γιάννα με έχει τοποθετήσει πάνω από τη τηλεόραση δίπλα από ένα πήλινο πιάτο από τη Πάρο. Είμαι λυπημένο γιατί δεν βλέπω τη Γιάννα. Είμαι χαρούμενο που ο κυρ Χρίστος συχνά μου κάνει παρέα και τα λέμε. Ο κυρ Χρίστος ζει περισσότερο στο χωριό. Έρχεται στην Αθήνα να δει τα παιδιά και να κάνει κάποιες δουλειές. Ο κυρ Χρίστος διατηρεί το σπίτι όπως το άφησε η Γιάννα. Τα ρούχα της Γιάννας είναι στη ντουλάπα απείραχτα. Τα μπιζού της Γιάννας είναι εκεί που τα είχε αφήσει. Τα βιβλία της είναι στη βιβλιοθήκη. Ο κυρ Χρίστος είπε ότι χρειάζεται 10 ζωές χρόνο για να διαβάσει τα βιβλία της Γιάννας.
Συχνά βλέπω τον κυρ Χρίστο να βάνει τα κλάματα όταν ..ακούει τη Γιάννα να τραγουδά Χατζηδάκη και άλλους αγαπημένους της τραγουδιστές. Ο κυρ Χρίστος ακούει συχνά τραγούδια που άρεσαν στη Γιάννα. Μια φορά είδε τα βαζάκια με τα μπαχαρικά με τα μικρά γράμματα συγκινήθηκε πολύ και έγραψε ένα ποίημα. Ο κυρ Χρίστος συχνά γράφει για τη Γιάννα ποιήματα. Ελπίζει ότι η Γιάννα, εκεί που είναι τώρα, τα διαβάζει. Ο κυρ Χρίστος πότε πότε γράφει στοίχους στα γαλλικά και διαβάζει γαλλική ποίηση. Η υγεία του κυρ Χρήστου είναι σχετικά καλή. Έχει στένωση σπονδυλικής στήλης σε ένα σημείο. Σήμερα ο Χρίστος μαγείρεψε ένα πολύ νόστιμο φαγητό και έκανε το τραπέζι στο Χρίστο τζούνιορ και έναν άλλο συγγενή. Βγάλανε και φωτογραφίες.
Ο Χρίστος ο νεώτερος είναι ζωγράφος και από τις 11 έως τις 22/11/2024 έχει έκθεση. Θα πω στον πατέρα του να σου στείλει φωτογραφίες από την έκθεση.
Καλή μου Άννα, εγώ το ταπεινό σου κάδρο δεν φαντάζεσαι πόσο περήφανο είμαι που τα χρυσά χέρια σου μου χάρισαν τόση ζωντάνια, πλούσια χρώματα και ομιλία. Είμαι ικανό να μιλώ ώρες. Είμαι ικανό να βλέπω εσένα εκεί που είσαι στην Αυστραλία. Ω! Πόσο ευτυχία! Ένα φτωχό (άσημο αλλά τόσο πλούσιο σε περιεχόμενο κάδρο, όπως είμαι εγώ, να μπορεί να ταξιδεύει στη γη, στο σύμπαν, στο χρόνο και να εκφράζει την ανησυχία του για την ειρήνη που κινδυνεύει! Βλέπε Γάζα και Λίβανο από τον παρανοϊκό Νετανιάχου και τους δυτικούς φίλους του. Ανησυχώ επίσης για τον πόλεμο της Ρωσίας στην Ουκρανία και την επεμβατική που πολιτική των ΗΠΑ στη Κίνα. Εδώ θα κλείσω το γράμμα μου αγαπητή Άννα δώσε φιλιά σε όλους τους αγαπημένους. Σας εύχομαι υγεία και ευτυχία.
Το αγαπημένο σου κάδρο που ποτέ δεν σε ξεχνά.
THE SPEAKING ANNE'S PAINTING!
Hello my sweet Anna. I am the artwork painting you have crafted with such passion once. You sent me to Gianna one day. Gianna has placed me above the TV next to a painted plate from Paros. I'm sad because I don't see Gianna. I am happy that Mr. Christos often hangs out with me and we see each other. Mr Christos lives most of the time in the village. He comes to Athens to see the children and do some work. Mr Christos keeps the house as Gianna left it. Gianna's clothes are in the closet immaculate. Gianna's jewelry is where she left it. Her books are in the library untouched. Mr Christos said that it takes 10 lifetimes to read Gianna's books. I often see Mr Christos crying when he hears Gianna singing Hatzidakis and other favorite singers. Mr Christos often listens to songs that Gianna liked. Once he saw the spice small jars with her small letters and was very moved and wrote a poem. Mr Christos often communicate with poems with Gianna. He hopes that Gianna, where she is now, is reading them. Mr Christos now and then writes verses in French and reads French poetry. Christos' health is relatively good. He has spinal stenosis at one point.
Today Mr Christos cooked a very delicious meal and set the table for Christos Jr. and another guy relative. They also took pictures. Christos the youngest is a painter and from 11 to 22/11/2024 has an exhibition.
I'll tell his father to send you pictures from the exhibition.
My dear Anna, I your humble painting you cannot imagine how proud I am that your golden hands have given me so much life, rich colors and speech. I can talk for hours. I am able to see you where you are. Oh! What happiness! An unknown but rich painting, such as I am, can travel the earth, the universe, time and express his concern for the peace that is in danger! See Gaza and Lebanon by paranoid Netanyahu and his Western friends. I am also concerned about Russia's war in Ukraine and the US's aggressive policy in China. Here I will close my letter dear Anna give kisses to all loved ones I wish you health and happiness. Your favorite painting that never forgets you

ΥΣΤΕΡΌΓΡΑΦΟ: Ξέχασα να σου γράψω ο,τι το τελευταίο καιρό βλέπω τον κυρ Χρίστο λίγο αλλαγμένο. Η αριστερά στην Ελλάδα τα έκανε σκατά και από 100 χωριά χωριάτες. Η δεξιά αλωνίζει. Ο κυρ Χρίστος παραμένει αυτός που ήταν αλλά πλέον δεν επενδύει πολιτικά. (Επενδύσεις σε τέτοια ηλικία δεν γίνονται μόνο αμπελοφιλοσοφίες αναπτύσονται). Ακούει ωραία τραγούδια από το YouTube του Λουδοβίκου των Ανωγείων, Μαριώ, Μπακιρτζή, Μίλτο, Παπακωνσταντίνου κλπ. Αισθάνεται πολύ ωραία.
POSTSCRIPT: I forgot to write to you that lately I see Mr. Christos a little changed. The left in Greece made a mess of 100 villages of peasants. The right is threshing. Mr. Christos remains who he was but no longer invests politically. He listens to nice songs from YouTube by Ludovikos of Anogeia, Mario, Bakirtzis, Milto, Papakonstantinou, etc. He feels very good.

2/11/2024 AUSTRALIA / Dearest and VERY SPECIAL MAN Christos... I love having contact with you . I will write to you soon I am also sad about how the " ELITE ???? " and wealthy ??? (only with material gains) are manipulating the planet and its inhabitants . POWER > money the tools of MANIPULATION ..... please HAVE A LOOK AT ..H A A R P...
My son Alexander and I are like a couple of HERMITS...we try to enjoy our life lately. We are both aware of all the planets' problems, however we are very tired of reading such waste of time, negativity of late. My life has been involved with BEAUTY ..music, art, literature.. foremost is my family ... Julius my 19 year old grandson is working as a Science Officer (a grand title !!!!) in a big city hospital, as well as finishing his uni course in Medical science.. Theodore also will do the same course at UNI.. he has just finished year 12 at high school. I spend time with art work to give to people as gifts. I love also to go to the local coffee shop and to observe all the lovely people walking past.. the people here are very good and very CARING and helpful to each other.
I have a beautiful garden Christos ..... huge Jasmin TREE, many brightly coloured Azalea bushes, we have many wild white PARROTS visit us to be fed ..yesterday well over 20 .. all seem to arrive in the afternoon, most likely go to catch fish early. Some afternoons there is BIRD WAR here ... many species arrive to be fed. Often some huge Ibis birds.
I LOVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SOUL .... I also am very observant of nature here .. A delicate heavenly woven spider web ... catching the perfumed raindrops from the flowers . I am glad we don't bother with politics.... LEFT or RIGHT .. so what ... will they bother to help us ???// NO just love their money and power.
I LOVE YOUR ROMANTIC POETIC CHARACTER... I remember you once told me you cooked chicken with orange ..make it again and I will fly on a cloud to attend your dinner. Cook rice also.
I love all the music you sent .. I will listen later. You are still handsome, Greek men always look beautiful, young or older.

Tag: see this also Anne's poems
"Following are the translations of two poems by Pablo Neruda from Greek into English. The first poem is titled 'The Potter' (O Piloplastis) from the collection The Captain's Verses, and the second is 'Body of a Woman' (Soma Gynaikas), the opening poem from the collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair."
1. The Potter (Ο Πηλοπλάστης)
Your whole body has
a fullness or a sweetness
destined for me.
When I move my hand
I find in every part
a dove
that was waiting for me,
as if they had,
my love,
made you of clay
for my own
potter's hands.
Your knees,
your breasts,
your waist
are missing within me
like the void
of a thirsty land
from which they carved
a form,
and both together
we are complete
like a single river,
like a single grain of sand.
2. Body of a Woman (Σώμα Γυναίκας)
Body of a woman, white hills, white thighs,
you look like the world in your posture of surrender.
My savage peasant body digs through you
and makes a child leap from the depth of the earth.
I was alone like a tunnel. The birds fled from me,
and night swamped me with its crushing invasion.
To survive I forged you like a weapon,
like an arrow in my bow, like a stone in my sling.
But the hour of vengeance falls, and I love you.
Body of skin, of moss, of eager and firm milk.
Oh the vessels of the breast! Oh the eyes of absence!
Oh the roses of the pubis! Oh your voice, slow and sad!
Body of my woman, I will persist in your grace.
My thirst, my boundless desire, my shifting road!
Dark riverbeds where the eternal thirst flows,
and weariness follows, and infinite sorrow.
ΕΝΘΕΤΟ
Ο πηλοπλάστης
(Πάμπλο Νερούδα)
Όλο σου το σώμα έχει
κούπα ή γλύκα
προορισμένη
σε μένα.
Όταν σηκώνω το χέρι
βρίσκω σε κάθε μέρος
ένα περιστέρι
που με περίμενε,
σαν να σε είχαν,
αγάπη μου,
κάνει από πηλό
για τα ίδια μου τα χέρια
του πηλοπλάστη.
Τα γόνατά σου,
τα στήθια σου,
η μέση σου
λείπουνε μέσα μου
όπως στο κενό
μιας διψασμένης γης
από όπου απέσπασαν
μία μορφή,
και οι δυο μαζί
είμαστε πλήρεις
όπως ένας μόνο ποταμός,
όπως μία μόνον άμμος
Σώμα γυναίκας (Πάμπλο Νερούδα,
μετάφραση: Ζαφειράτος)
ΣΩΜΑ γυναίκας,
κάτασπροι μηροί,
κάτασπροι λόφοι,
καθώς μου παραδίνεσαι
μοιάζεις ο κόσμος όλος.
Σώμα χωριάτη άγριου
το σώμα μου σε σκάβει
κι ένα παιδί απ’ τα τρίσβαθα
της γης ξαναγεννιέται.
Σαν γαλαρία έρημος,
πουλιά με εγκαταλείπαν
κι η νύχτα έμπαινε μέσα μου
βίαια και με χτυπούσε.
Και για να μείνω ζωντανός
εσένανε έκανα όπλο,
πέτρα μες στη σφεντόνα μου,
στο τόξο μου σαΐτα.
Μα η ώρα της εκδίκησης
ήρθε και σ’ αγαπάω.
Δέρμα από γάλα, μούσκλια,
δυνατό, άπληστο σώμα.
Ω, οι υδρίες του στήθους σου,
ω τα γλαρά σου μάτια!
Ω, ηβικά τριαντάφυλλα
κι ω στεναγμοί της θλίψης!
Ω, σώμα της γυναίκας μου,
στη χάρη σου αντέχω.
Δίψα μου, πόθε απέραντε,
αβέβαιέ μου δρόμε!
Κοίτες των ποταμών κρυφές
που ρέει η αιώνια δίψα,
που ρέει η αιώνια κούραση,
κι ο αστέρευτος ο πόνος.

Hello Christos,
I hope you are well and having a beautiful life in your village.
At last we have cooler weather now. This is our lovely cat .. her name is MRS WOOLLY as she is so beautiful and fluffy ... a very intelligent little soul.
Cats here have to live inside ... there are no cats allowed outside as they tend to kill a lot of the wild life in particular birds .
Love from Anna R.
Αγαπητή Άννα.
Ξέρω ότι οι φίλοι δεν ξεχνιούνται.
Έχουν περάσει πολλές ημέρες από τις 17 Απρίλη 2025. Δεν σε ξεχνώ. Οι καιροί δύσκολοι οι διεθνείς εξελίξεις το ίδιο. Σταμάτησαν το πόλεμο στη Γάζα. Η θλίψη η φτώχια η καταπίεση η απομόνωση εξακολουθεί.
Εδώ κυβερνά μια δεξιά πολιτική δύναμη που διψά για ατομικό πλουτισμό και υπονόμευση της οποίας λίγης Δημοκρατίας υπάρχει.
Εγώ ακολουθώ τώρα ένα νεαρό δημοκράτη τον Κασσελάκη.
Είναι καλός.
Στο μήνυμά σου είδα την πανέμορφη γατούλα σου. Πες της ότι την αγαπώ.
Έχουμε και πολλές γατούλες στο χωριό που ζούνε μόνες τους αλλά αγαπάνε τις τροφές που τους δίνουμε όταν πάμε στο χωριό.
Εμείς με το γιο μου έχουν μια παπαγαλίνα που την λέμε Αγάπη.
Τα ποιητικά μου νέα όπως ξέρεις είναι εδώ:
Πολλά πολλά φιλάκια
Εύχομαι το μύνημα μου
να σε βρει με πλήρη υγεία
και όπως πάντα πνευματικά
και καλλιτεχνικά δημιουργική.
Για μια καλλίτερη απόδοση στα αγγλικά
θα την βάλω στο GPT.
Χρήστος
Christos.
Αγαπητέ Χρήστο, καλησπέρα.
Παρακάτω σου δίνω μια επιμελημένη, καλλιεργημένη και ζεστή απόδοση στα αγγλικά, κατάλληλη για μια ποιήτρια όπως η Άννα Ρούθ. Κράτησα τον ανθρώπινο τόνο, τη διακριτική πολιτική αναφορά και τη φιλικότητα του πρωτοτύπου, με φυσικά αγγλικά και ευγένεια.
Τελική αγγλική επιστολή
Dear Anna,
I know that true friends are never forgotten.
Many days have passed since April 17, 2025, yet you remain in my thoughts. These are difficult times, and the international situation weighs heavily on us all. Although the war in Gaza has been halted, sorrow, poverty, oppression, and isolation persist.
Here in Greece, a right-wing political force governs—one driven by individual enrichment and the erosion of what little democracy still remains. As for me, I now choose to support a young democrat, Stefanos Kasselakis. I believe he is a good and sincere person.
In your message, I saw your beautiful little cat. Please tell her that I send her my love.
In our village, too, there are many cats living on their own. They may be solitary, but they are very fond of the food we bring them whenever we visit.
My son and I also share our home with a small parrot—we call her Agapi (Love).
As for my poetic news and photos, as you already know, you can find them here:
Many, many kisses.
I hope this message finds you in full health and, as always, spiritually and artistically creative.
For a better rendering in English, I entrusted this letter to GPT.
With affection,
Christos
Χρήστος

Dear Christos ,
how delightful to hear from you my lovely man friend . I LOVE ROMANTIC PEOPLE..you are a BEAUTIFUL MAN CHRISTOS .... I have found a lovely man friend here a few years ago . He works in a Franchise doing gardens and cutting lawns . He told me I am beautiful .. well I don't think so but it was lovely of him to say that . He is Greek , born here but as I speak limited Greek I am amazed he only speaks English .... He takes me out for a few drinks etc ... he has a lovely name Constantinos , he is a lot younger than me , we have the same interests such as Science , USA hidden agendas in Space exploration and use of Micro wave weapons etc ... I also have a friend in USA involved with exposing the USA governments " black ??? " projects . She is a Journalist ... type in KERRY CASSIDY.... I had quite few meetings here at events she held . She was hit with a micro wave weapon and was unable to walk for a long time .I wish I could come to see you . I have a lot of connections in Nanjing China and had a lovely opportunity to stay on Campus in Nanjing University Music department , I think I told you about this ,as a visiting music teacher . The communist government also asked me to return to assist the development of music tuition there . BIG BROTHER IN CANBERRA was aware of this , as are all Communist Chinese issues are monitored here . The same happened to me when I stayed with some of my piano students ' relatives in Vietnam a few years ago . The woman I stayed with in Vietnam had to give the POLICE bottles of whisky !!!! I was very obvious as I traveled around with my Vietnamese girl friend on the back of her motor bike , long blond hair blowing in the wind . I love the Vietnamese people .I have had many piano students here to teach , from Vietnam . I love the picture you sent .
Thank you so much for writing to me ... I am very healthy so far , strangely my hair never went white and my skin has no wrinkles .. VAIN .. no just an observation ..... I live peacefully " mainly " I live here all together with my whole family ..not always a good idea 🙂 Love you my friend I will send photos but have to wait for Alex to assist .
