Sappho

Love is a cunning weaver of fantasies and fables.  - Sappho

What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful. - Sappho

Love-bittersweet, irrepressible-loosen my limbs and I tremble... - Sappho

Even when I glimpse you for a moment, my tongue is stilled as speech deserts me, while a delicate fire is beneath my skin... - Sappho

I took my lyre and said: come now, my heavenly tortoise shell: become a speaking instrument.  - Sappho
