An immortal goddess of inspiration from the isle of Lesbos, the tenth muse according to Plato himself and a high priestess of enchantment for the enduring beauty and contemporary appeal of her surviving fragments. She lives on eternally.
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.
I am reading your poems how many years later of your death. I do not know who will read my poems two thousand years later. +8801919455479

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.
It's rare to find so many fragments of her divine lyrics. I'm in Arcadia.......!
The greatest poet of them all,
though only beautiful fragments remain
because of the Christian Era
fearing her love!
does anyone know when the Sappho will be reborn and where? i can't wait
