More from Sappho
"May I write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve."
"If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble."
"My tongue is broken, a subtle fire runs beneath my skin, my eyes see nothing, my ears hum, cold sweat pours down me, a trembling seizes all my body, and I am greener than grass."
"The gorgeous man presents a gorgeous view; The good man will in time be gorgeous, too."
"My blood with gentle horrors thrilled: My feeble pulse forgot to play; I fainted, sunk, and died away."
