περὶ ὀρέων.1 [on Mt.17:20]
οἱ
πολλοὶ νομίζουν τὴν πίστη πράγμα
εὔκολο κι εὐχάριστο,
ἕνα ποτὸ ποὺ σοῦ στρογγυλεύει
τὴν ζωὴ καὶ σβήνει τὸν κόπο της. ἡ
ἀλήθεια εἶναι πολὺ διαφορετική.
ἡ πίστη εἶναι ἕνα βουνὸ θεόρατο πάνω στοὺς ὤμους, ἢ, σωστότερα, τὸ φορτίο ἑνὸς βουνοῦ ποὺ στέκεται πάνω στοὺς ὥμους καὶ θλίβει ἀφόρητα καρδιὰ καὶ σπλάγχνα.

κι αὐτὸ τὸ βουνὸ ἔχει ὄνομα,
τὸ λὲνε ἐλευθερία.
:::
the many think faith an easy and pleasant thing, a drink that smooths life and erases her affliction. that is farther from the truth.
faith is a great mountain on the shoulders; or, better, the burden of a mountain that stands on the shoulders and is pressing heart and guts.

and this mountain has a name, it's called freedom.
