[[Image:Seferis1.jpg|frame|left|George Seferis]]'''George''' (Giorgos) '''Seferis''' (Γιώργος Σεφέρης) ([[February 19]], [[1900]] – [[September 20]], [[1971]]) was one of the most important [[Greece|Greek]] poets of the 20th century. He also pursued a career in the Greek foreign service, culminating in his appointment as Ambassador to the [[UK]], a post which he held from [[1957]] to [[1962]].
'Seferis' was a pen name, a variation on his family name, '''Seferiadis''', which makes reference to the Turkish word meaning journey (from which the English word 'safari' is derived). He continued to use 'Seferiadis' in his professional life.
