Hockney, David
The narrator of Cavafy's poem recalls a sexual encounter which has taken shape again through his words:
'‘quick baring of flesh-the image of it
has crossed twenty-six years; and now has come
to stay here in this poetry.'
The setting for Hockney’s drawing is a Beirut dry cleaning shop.
