The poet was dangerously ill, and when his ship came abreast of Skyros – strange destiny! – he died. His friends who were with him remembered his wish, and buried him with honour in the place he had loved and chosen so many years before. en Strangers on Skyros Blackwood’s Magazine London William Blackwood 1965 297 312 0006-436X 557431975 He launched into a long rigmarole of which I understood no word: the Skyriots speak a language all their own, and are unintelligible even to the Psariots, who inhabit the next island. But his tone, and the uninhibited delight of his expression, were eloquence enough.

I have never met them outside the island except at the little town of Kyme on the east coast of Euboea opposite Skyros. Here it is natural to expect them, for Kyme is the nearest mainland town to the island. en Michael Carroll Skyros: A Poet’s Grave Gates of the Wind: On the Northern Sporades London John Murray 1965 843051156 republished in An Island in Greece: On the Shores of Skopelos London Tauris Parke Paperbacks, I.B.

We were told in Linaria how it had all happened, how before the war the poet was visiting Greece and came to Skyros; how he found the olive grove in this little valley and spent the whole night there in the company of his closest friends, drinking much wine, talking and making merry. He loved the place so much, he said, he wanted to be buried here. en w:Elizabeth Jane Howard Part Three Slipstream: A Memoir London Macmillan 2002 978-0-333-90349-0 London Pan Macmillan 2003 362 https://books.google.com/books?id=UBw78ayBlRMC&pg=PA362 978-0-330-48405-3 I never saw the little Skyriot horses which lived in the mountains all the winter and came down to do farm work and be raced on the sands in the summer. They weren't ponies, I was told, but real horses – the strain being of great antiquity.
