I took my time with the #poetry reading through the #odes and #fragments a few times. The #lyricism is unsurpassed. I can only imagine what they must have sounded like, sung in #ClassicalGreek. I was most impressed by her references to #astronomy. Definitely worth a #read. #bookstodon #books #classics https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-life-poetry-and-influence-of-sappho/id1610989808

but suddenly it poured out and was gone,
world is outside,
world can not be grasped.
Why didn't I, from the full beloved face,
as I raised it to my lips,
why didn't I drink world,
so near that I could almost taste it?
Ah, I drank. Insatiably I drank,
but I was filled up with too much world,
and drinking,
I myself ran over.
- Rene' Marie Rilke, circa 1924.
