kdburton's review against another edition
I wish there was a heart button for things that defy categorizing and rating because what an unexplainable feeling to read these flickers of poetry, these dazzling words, from so very many years ago, in imperfect translation and fragmentary ephemera.
Thank goodness that Sappho had such a cool name and lived in such a cool sounding place so that we got such great gay diction from the association.

I simply want to be dead. Weeping she left me
with many tears and said this:
Oh how badly things have turned out for us.
Sappho, I swear, against my will I leave you.
And I answered her:
Rejoice, go and
remember me. For you know how we cherished you.
But if not, I want to remind you
ok I'll say this is probably not the best sappho translation out there bc of the assumption the more "ambiguous" poems were about men so as long as you assume they are all gay we'll be great
