1		Although they are
2		Anactoria
3		And their feet move
4		Awed by her splendor
5		Before they were mothers
6		Blame Aphrodite
7		Cleis
8		Cyprian, in my dream
9		Drapple-thorned Aphrodite,
10		He is more than a hero
11		Hymn To Aphrodite
12		I have no complaint
13		I took my lyre
14		I took my lyre and said
15		In the spring twilight
16		It is the Muses
17		It was you, Atthis, who said
18		It's no use
19		Leto and Niobe
20		Like the gods. . .

I hope someone can help me. It is my understanding that Winnaretta Singer, the Princesse de Polignac, made many translations of Sappho's poems at the turn of the 20th century (Perhaps between 1900-1914, but possibly not until after WWl) . I would like to find them, but have not been successful so far.

Is there a Sappho scholar reading this who can help me? If so, please feel free to email me at Linda5051@aol.com as soon as you read this.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Here's another one, not included in this anthology:

Mountain Wind

Just as the wind
in the mountains
blows the oaks
assunder, so did
Eros
blow my mind.
