English term
With absolute trust
English to Greek
Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
I need to retrieve a phrase from Kazantzakis' "Zorba the Greek". The English translation goes like this:
As I watched the seagulls, I thought: "That's the road to take; find the absolute rhythm and follow it WITH ABSOLUTE TRUST."
Anybody remember the original?

μ' εμπιστοσύνη
Nothing "absolute" in the original. On page 277 it reads:
κοίταζα τους γλάρους και συλλογιζόμουν: Αυτός είναι ο δρόμος· να βρεις το μεγάλο ρυθμό και να τον ακολουθάς μ' εμπιστοσύνη.

Comment: "Thanks Nick. I guess the "absolute" in an initiative from the translator. And you can't always trust translators!"
