:  

:As you set out for Ithaka

:hope the voyage is a long one,

:full of adventure, full of discovery.

:Laistrygonians and 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.

:Laistrygonians and Cyclops,

:Wild Poseidon—you won’t encounter them

:unless you bring them along inside your soul,

:unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

: 

:Hope the voyage is a long one.

:May there be many a summer morning when,

:with what pleasure, what joy,

:you come into harbors seen for the first time;

:may you stop at Phoenician trading stations

:to buy fine things,

:mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,

:sensual perfume of every kind—

:as many sensual perfumes as you can;

:and may you visit many Egyptian cities

:to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars.

: 

:Keep Ithaka always in your mind.

:Arriving there is what you are destined for.

:But do not hurry the journey at all.

:Better if it lasts for years,

:so you are old by the time you reach the island,

:wealthy with all you have gained on the way,

:not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

: 

:Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.

:Without her you would not have set out.

:She has nothing left to give you now.

: 

:And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.

:Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

:you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
