If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho by Sappho

emotional inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing fast-paced

5.0

so beautiful. i am so happy to have this in my collection forever. we can learn so much from old masters. i cried and i also laughed out loud. not only was it amazing to bear witness to her love and her lust, sappho’s verses tell us a lot about women of her era, their rituals, how they are treated, what they think about, etc. sappho’s musings on virginity and crowns, on mothers and daughters towards the end makes me want to investigate classical women more. 

the fragment that stole my breath:
“someone will remember us / i say / even in another time”

sappho u will always be famous
