and in your song most of all she rejoiced.

from blunt agony. Labor
and fill my heart with fire. Stand by me
and be my ally.
Now the Earth with many flowers puts on her spring embroidery
Sappho...gracious your form and your eyes as honey : desire is poured upon your lovely face Aphrodite has honored you exceedingly...
