Sappho Quotes

Equal to the gods seems to me that man who sits facing you and hears you nearby sweetly speaking and softly laughing. This sets my heart to fluttering in my breast, for when I look on you a moment, then can I speak no more, but my tongue falls silent, and at once a delicate flame courses beneath my skin, and with my eyes I see nothing, and my ears hum, and a cold sweat bathes me, and a trembling seizes me all over, and I am paler than grass, and I feel that I am near to death Picture Quote #1

The moon has set, and the Pleiades; it is midnight, and time passes, and I sleep alone Picture Quote #1

Of a girl before marriage: As an apple reddens on the high bough; high atop the highest bough the apple pickers passed it by - no, not passed it by, but they could not reach it Picture Quote #1

Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow Picture Quote #1

Sweetest mother, I can weave no more today, for thoughts of him come thronging, him for whom my heart is longing - for I know not where my weary fingers stray Picture Quote #1

Builders, raise the ceiling high, raise the dome into the sky, hear the wedding song! For the happy groom is near, tall as Mars, and statelier, hear the wedding song! Picture Quote #1

Once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done Picture Quote #1

Death must be an evil and the gods agree; for why else would they live for ever? Picture Quote #1

Eros seizes and shakes my very soul like the wind on the mountain shaking ancient oaks Picture Quote #1

Culture is like the sum of special knowledge that accumulates in any large united family and is the common property of all its members. When we of the great Culture Family meet, we exchange reminiscences about Grandfather Homer, and that awful old Dr. Johnson, and Aunt Sappho, and poor Johnny Keats Picture Quote #1

But the act, called the sexual act, is not for the depositing of seed. It is for leaping off into the unknown, as from a cliff's edge, like Sappho into the sea Picture Quote #1
