Scope and content

Two printed sheets with the poem "Waiting for the Barbarians". The verso of the second sheet, the lower part of which has been cut off, is blank. The poem's title at top left of the recto of the first sheet. Handwritten cancellations and emendations in several verses. Added handwritten verses as well as cancellations of other verses in the second and third pages. The printed text, the font and the layout are similar to those of the eight-page 1904 publication of the poem by the Lagoudakis printing house and this should be considered a copy thereof.
