'Yes, we did many things, then — all
Beautiful …'

Lyrical, powerful poems about love, sexuality, sun-soaked Greece and the gods.

Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.

Sappho (c.630–570 BCE). Sappho's Stung with Love is available in Penguin Classics.

    🔮Hidden Depths

    I can understand the lust and deep sadness in these texts, makes me interested in other translations and in reading the poems in a difrent language.

    Quotes

    • Aldair Apodacahas quotedlast year
      I declare

      That later on,

      Even in an age unlike our own,

      Someone will remember who we are.

        Either I have slipped out of your head

        Or you adore some fellow more, instead.

        I don’t know what the right course is;

        Twofold are my purposes.

          Nightingale,

          All you sing

          Is desire;

          You are the crier

          Of coming spring.
