Early in his poem celebrating the country both of us have known since our childhood in Thessaloniki, Bruce Lansdale quotes Henry Miller on the theme of discovering Greece: "Get-ting to know Greece is like falling in love with one's own divine image'?" And then Bruce shrewdly adds: "But there's more to it than that." His poem constitutes a personal statement of what more there is to it, a hymn of praise which includes much that any philhellene will recognize as appropriate to his own "divine image" of the place and much that Bruce Lansdale's friends will recognize as a product of his uniquely generous spirit and his unusually expansive response to people, especially those who have helped to shape his particular discovery of Greece. I shared both his childhood discovery and his rediscovery after the Second World War, when the two of us returned to Thessaloniki as Fulbright teachers at the American Farm School, a privileged journey that created a thirty-year home for him and that roused some of the more amicable ghosts that have lived with me during the same period of years. Robert McCabe's photographs are also a personal statement of what "more there is" to the divine imagery of Greece than even Henry Miller knew. I saw some of Robert McCabe's work for the first time over twenty years ago, shortly after I supervised his remarkably perceptive Princeton senior thesis on Byron's philhellenism. His thesis recorded the sometimes hidden complexity of Byron's image of Greece as it was revealed in his poems and letters. Robert McCabe's photographs are a similar record of his philhellenism, with their own poetry. The images they project are metaphors for what he finds universally valuable and entertaining in the landscape with figures that his long pilgrimage of discovery has led him to encounter. Those of us who have made a like pilgrimage-or who hope to-can-not but learn from what these two experienced explorers bring to us in this collaboration that has emerged out of their mutual love for a land still inhabited by gods and demons who have somehow remained "young and ethereal" (to paraphrase Cavafy) over so many centuries.
