The entire little collection is essentially a love letter to Sappho herself and to what her writing has left behind, it's so beautiful and prettily written. I feel immediately transported to Lesbos as the imagery is so strong, really loved:
'SAPPHO TO ONE OF HER TRANSLATORS'
'By Zeus and Aphrodite!
When you pass
You tread my poems underfoot
Like grass;
Distort my meaning; trample
Text and truth apart:
Watch where you walk -
That papyrus is my heart. '
