'The Moon' by Sappho of Lesbos, poet of the
ancient world praised by Plato as the 10th muse:
“The stars about the lovely moon
Fade back and vanish very soon,
When, round and full, her silver face
Swims into sight, and lights all space.”

can't stop thinking about LOVE LIES BLEEDING, and how Glass twists a classic noir setup –– built drifter falls in with a fucked-up family of criminals –– into a gutter-fantasy sapphic love story about bodies, dads and death, and it plays like a horrible, beautiful pulp dream.

I started randomly with fragment 157 - lady Dawn.
I began first on the side with Ancient Greek and then used other languages I've learned to write about how I felt about "Lady Dawn".
Please feel free to correct my grammatical errors on the left hand side. Thank you!

Hi everyone, Helena of @helenaheritage here.
Using Anne Carson's copy of "Fragments of Sappho", I am starting a project of filling in the gaps of Sappho's poetry/speeches/words, which I hope many of you will enjoy.
I also invite anyone interested in doing the same!

Continued translation:
... because it hides my tears./ And I know that I live in Britain/ but I write in Latin/ because love is also dead.
What do you guys think? Should I try to write more Latin poetry (since my Greek is far too shoddy)?
Thanks for reading as ever! 💜🙏
