NIKOS KRANIDIWTHS	(1911-*)

O KAPETAN PANAGOS LOUMPAS (Teleutaia Synexeia)


   Htane twra gluko vraduno.  Oi skies eixane aplwsei ston kampo, kai mesa
sto apalo mouxrwma oi turranismenes morfes twn pragmatwn esmigan s' ena
aperanto eiriniko sumplegma.  Apo to pelago tis Kilikias o ma.i.stros eftane
droseros kai murwmenos.
   O kapetan Panagos anasane va0eia ti galini tis wras. Mesa sta splaxna tou to
0alassino ageraki ksupnise ti mariola laxtara tis zwis.  Anoikse diaplata ta
matia tou kai kuttaxtike. Epsakse me ta daxtula to kalodemeno kormi tou,
xa.i.depse to laimo kai to pigouni tou, kai sullogistike poso itane
eutuxismenos autos pou mporouse na perpata kai na trexei, enw o Moustafas
0amene ekei akinitos gia panta...
   Mpike etsi sto dromo tou spitiou tis Zafeiritsas.  Mia glukeia idoni
diakladw0ike memias mesa sti aima tou ki eftase ws to teleutaio kuttaro tou
einai tou.
  -Zafeiritsa!
   H eikona ir0e sto nou tou kuriarxiki, epimoni.  Anevike apo ta va0i tis

neuro, stin teleutaia ina twn ais0isewn tou, kai sta0ike mprosta sta 0ampwmena
matia tou turraniki ki wraia.  Glukeia san wrimos karpos.  San epa0lo mias
nikis, pou 0a exane xwris auti ti simasia tis.
   Etsi tin eide: opws tin xarike auti ti mera.  Mesa sta froufrourenia
sentonia.  Me ti gumni omorfia tis kerenia kai 0ampi sa margaritarenia.
Ta mpratsa tis, periplokades tis agapis.  O kolpos tis kimatistos ki apar0enos.
O aspros tis laimos san peristeras.  Ki ustera ta glara tis matia na ton
kuttoun epimona m' ekeini ti glukada tis agapis.
   Poses laxtares ksupnisan mesa stin psuxi tou kapetan Panagou tou Loumpa!
   Aurio 0a kinousan prw.i.- prw.i.. 0a sikwnan kataspra pania, ki i
"Malamatenia" 0a glistrouse perifani sto kuma.  T' ageri 0a fusoume primo ki
i galani Mesogeio 0a ksanazouse ton arxaio 0rulo tis.  Ksan0es nera.i.des 0a
kavallousan pali ta delfinia kai 0avgainan floisvizontas sto pla.i. tous.  Ta

me ti Zafeiritsa sto pleuro tou na vlepoune ola auta ta 0amata, katapws ta
marturisan oi geroi nautikoi, pou pe0anan prin xronia.
   Ki ustera mia zesti gwnia.  Ekei sta irema nera tou Argolikou.  To tzaki

i nea geneia pou 0arxotan...
   To sti0os tou kapetan Panagou fouskwse apo xara.  Rovolise ton katiforo san
a.i.tos pou gurizei sti fwlia tou.
   Apo makria eide to spiti tis Zafeiritsas, kai mia skia na glistraei apo tin

o aderfos tou Moustafa ton opoio skotwse o Panagos*).  Ena kako proais0ima
perase amesws apo to nou tou. Etrekse, anevike grigora ta skalia kai mpike.
   Apanw sto krevati tis i Zafeiritsa kolumpouse akiniti sto aima tis. Ta

   Ystera sikwse ti Zafeiritsa sta xeria tou.  Tin pire kai perpatise siwpilos
ki alugistos mesa ston kampo, katw apo tis panarxaies elies, ws ti skoteini

   Kanenas den katalave ti kratouse ekeino to vradu o kapetan Panagos
o Loumpas, pou mpike etsi viastikos sto karavi kai salparise.
   Perasan xronia.
   O kapetan Panagos o Loumpas den ksanafanike apo tote.  Ena xrono mono ustera
ap' ta peristatika, animera t' A.i.Dimitriou egine afanto to Memetaki.  Merikoi
psarades eipane pws to vradu ekeino eidane ti "Malamatenia" n' armenizei

   T' onoma tou omws emeine alismonito.  Oi Elies tou Se.i.tanaga legountai
