193 Quotes by Sappho

With his venom irresistible and bittersweet that loosener of limbs, Love reptile-like strikes me down

Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us

Stand and face me, my love,and scatter the grace in your eyes.

Love shook my heart/ Like the wind on the mountain/ Troubling the oak-trees

When anger spreads through the breath, guard thy tongue from barking idly.

Death is an evil; the gods have so judged; had it been good, they would die.

Stars veil their beauty soon / Beside the glorious moon, / When her full silver light / Doth make the whole earth bright.

Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow.

Once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done.
