Dear Mr
Ravenscroft
|
|
|
Thank you for your letter of March 31 in regard to your
proposed visit to Cyprus.
|
Having carefully considered your comments and studied various
anthropological books - including Darwin's 'Theory of Evolution' - I would
conclude that with the exception of your moustache, your appearance would
conform to that of any male from countries bordering the Meditteranean.
However, if you add the moustache and go to Cyprus, I feel certain that the
population will think of you as a relative of Zorba, get you to dance the
sirtaki while balancing a pyramid of glass containing 'zivanier' - Cyprus's
white spirit - on your head. As this will be a case of Greek meeting Greek, or
should I say the Paphian meeting Greek and since both will be conversing in
English, I feel sure your holiday will be very enjoyable. And always remember
the Cypriots philosophy of xenos - the stranger is welcome - which after all
was Aphrodite's inheritance!
Yours sincerely
Geoffrey
