you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy finethings,mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,sensual

perfume of every kind -as many sensual perfumes as youcan; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to gather

stores of knowledge from their scholars. Keep Ithakaalways in your mind. Arriving there is what you are

destined for.But do not hurry the journey at all.Better if it

lasts for years,so you are old by the time you reach theisland, wealthy with all you have gained on the way,not

expecting Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you themarvellous journey, without her you would not have set

out. She has nothing left to give you now.And if you findher poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you. Wise as you will

have become, so full of experience, you will have

understood by then what these Ithakas mean. Which of thefollowing best reflects the central theme of this poem?

A. You cannot reach Ithaka without visiting Egyptian portsB. The longer the journey the greater the experiences you
