Dear colleagues, I need to find a translation into English of these 3 lines written by the Greek poet Odisseas Elitis.
Ο ήλιος ο ηλιάτορας, ο πετροπαιχνιδιάτορας
από την άκρη των ακρώ κατηφοράει στο Ταίναρο
Φωτιά 'ναι το πιγούνι του, χρυσάφι το πιρούνι του
If it is not possible to find a published translation, could you please translate it yourself (it is for my own use). Of course I am addressing to translators whose native language is English. Thank you!

The Sovereign Sun
the great stoneplayer
From the edge of edges
he descends to Taineron
His chin is fire
his fork is gold
Kimon Friar's translation, I think.
