Shimmering,
iridescent,
deathless Aphrodite.

Sappho's Poems and Fragments (2002)

The moon has set,
And the Pleiades.
Midnight.
The hour has gone by.
I sleep alone.

Sappho's Poems and Fragments (2002)

Some say an army on horseback,
some say on foot, and some say ships
are the most beautiful things
on this black earth,
but I say
it is whatever you love.
