Hockney, David
A tobacco shop provides the setting for the beginnings of a sexual encounter in Cavafy's poem:
'Quite by chance their glances happened to meet,
and timorously, hesitantly expressed
the illicit longing of their flesh.'
Hockney uses one of his Beirut drawings as the architectural setting for this scene.
