I have flown to you like a child to her mother.

Reminded me of Anaktoria, who is gone. I would rather see her lovely step and the motion of light on her face than chariots of Lydians or ranks of footsoldiers in arms.

Gaia, richly crowned, adorns herself in many hues.

I use to weave crowns.

Eros shook my mind like a mountain wind falling on oak trees.

The moon has set In a bank of jet That fringes the Western sky, The pleiads seven Have sunk from heaven And the midnight hurries by; My hopes are flown And, alas! alone On my weary couch I lie.

Builders, raise the ceiling high, Raise the dome into the sky, Hear the wedding song! For the happy groom is near, Tall as Mars, and statelier, Hear the wedding song!

Dawn with arms of roses.

For the man who is beautiful is beautiful to see but the good man will at once also beautiful be.

Hesperus bringing together All that the morning star scattered.

And with precious and royal perfume you anointed yourself.

Whatever one loves most is beautiful.

In the crooks of your body, I find my religon.

I am weary of all your words and soft, strange ways.

He who is fair to look upon is good, and he who is good will soon be fair also.

When anger spreads through the breath, guard thy tongue from barking idly.

Death must be an evil and the gods agree; for why else would they live for ever?

I have a daughter who reminds me of A marigold in bloom. Kle.

In Ancient Greek literature male poets tend not simply to portray women as lecherous but to attribute to them a species of lust different from that of males: a subhuman and automatic reflex, an animalistic urge. Sappho is important because she gives a fulle human voice to female desire for the first time in Western history. Since she defiantly chooses the quintessential love-object Helen of Troy as her freethinking agent, she seems fully conscious of the revolutionary claim she is making.

How love the limb-loosener sweeps me away.

As sometimes at sunset the rosyfingered moon surpasses all the stars. And her light stretches over salt sea equally and flowerdeep fields.

Death is an evil; the gods have so judged; had it been good, they would die.

Love – bittersweet, irrepressible – loosens my limbs and I tremble.

I took my lyre and said: come now, my heavenly tortoise shell: become a speaking instrument.

Stand and face me, my love, and scatter the grace in your eyes.

The moon has set, and the Pleiades; it is midnight, and time passes, and I sleep alone.

When I look on you a moment, then I can speak no more, but my tongue falls silent, and at once a delicate flame courses beneath my skin, and with my eyes I see nothing, and my ears hum, and a wet sweat bathes me and a trembling seizes me all over.

Experience shows us Wealth unchaperoned by Virtue is never an innocuous neighbor.

All the while, believe me, I prayed our night would last twice as long.

Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow.

Love, like a mountain-wind upon an oak, falling upon me, shakes me leaf and bough.

With his venom irresistible and bittersweet that loosener of limbs, Love reptile-like strikes me down.

Mere air, these words, but delicious to hear.

Eros harrows my heart: wild gales sweeping desolate mountains, uprooting oaks.

The evening star Is the most beautiful of all stars.

No honey for me, if it comes with a bee.

Love shook my heart Like the wind on the mountain rushing over the oak trees.

I will let my body flow like water over the gentle cushions.

From all the offspring of the earth and heaven love is the most precious.

May I write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve.

You may forget but let me tell you this: someone in some future time will think of us.

Without warning as a whirlwind swoops on an oak Love shakes my heart.

And now it is said of meThat my love is nothing because I have borne no children, Or because I have fathered none;That I twisted the twig in my handsAnd cut the blossom free too soon from the seed;That I lay across the fire,And snuffed it dead sooner than draft or rain.But I have turned away, and drawn myself Upright to walk along the room alone. Across the dark the spines of cactus plants Remind me how I go—aloof, obscure, Indifferent to the words the children chalk Against my house and down the garden walls. They cannot tear the garden out of me,Nor smear my love with names. Love is a cliff, A clear, cold curve of stone, mottled by stars, smirched by the morning, carved by the dark sea Till stars and dawn and waves can slash no more, Till the rock’s heart is found and shaped again.I keep the house and say no words, the evening Falls like a petal down the shawl of trees. I light the fire and see the blossom dance On air alone; I will not douse that flame, That searing flower; I will burn in it.I will not banish love to empty rain.For I know that I am asked to hate myself For their sweet sakeWho sow the world with child.I am given to burn on the dark fire they make With their sly voices.But I have burned already down to bone. There is a fire that burns beyond the namesOf sludge and filth of which this world is made. Agony sears the dark flesh of the body,And lifts me higher than the smoke, to rise Above the earth, above the sacrifice;Until my soul flares outward like a blue Blossom of gas fire dancing in mid-air:Free of the body’s work of twisted iron.

Love shook my heart like a wind falling on oaks on a mountain.
