Hadjidakis had said with a smile in a repulsion of his speech, that “we joined the EPON at the time because we also had our love affairs and so these gatherings of reactions and mobilizations helped them, gave them a reason to exist.”
Who knows how true this was…
Lentzos must have had this in mind when he wrote these verses, he may have been carried away by a love of fighting spirit, since Hadjidakis was probably right and he had it for all times. The Great Manifestation is the cry of that One who soars above, who escapes the mundane, who listens to his Universe and submits to it with his entire being, because he is in love. Let us also hear his cry and who knows, a similar fate may await us and we may then be prepared, because these are difficult things..
