'I declare
That later on,
Even in an age unlike our own,
Someone will remember who we are.'
Driven by the forces of love, Sappho's words are as tender as a feather in the wind.
Her creative skill is deeply felt, pure expression of rhythmical, breathing artistry. The Poetess leaves behind an enigmatic, innovative, and elegant literary treasure.
Highly recommended!

Their shapely shimmering whenever
She rises, lucent to the brim
And flowing over.'
Sappho's emphasis on emotion is brilliant 🖤"
