"Εσύ δεν είσαι από πανιού λωρίδα καµωµένη
Εσύ 'σαι από αίµα, από καπνούς κι από φωτιά βγαλµένη"

These emotional words are part of a poem written by Γ. Σηµιριώτης.  The poem is a hymn to the Greek Flag, This Poetry was recited for the first time by the Students of the Central Girl's School of SMYRNIS, during its liberation by the Greek Army (May 2, 1919).

George Simiriotis (1878-1964) was born in Adramytti, Asia Minor, but grew up in Mytilene, where he spent his student years.  He then left for Athens, where he lived from 1898 to 1906 and traveled to Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and the USA. He returned to Athens in 1916, published texts in literary magazines, co-published the magazine Saloni (1924) with his brother Kostas and was involved in theater. After a short stay in Smyrna before 1922 he returned to Athens, where he spent the rest of his life. 

A timeless keepsake gift for any occasion. These words stir so many emotions and pull at every Greek heartstring.
