"you came and I was crazy for you

and you cooled my mind that burned with longing"

“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

And beautiful times we had.

For many crowns of violets

And roses

At my side you put on

And many woven garlands

Made of flowers

Around your soft throat.

And with sweet oil

Costly

You anointed yourself

And on a soft bed

Delicate

You would let loose your longing…”

-Sappho in If Not Winter

This Sappho poetry fragment:

But it’s Yae thinking about Ei when she locked herself away, and goes like this:

“But me you have forgotten or you love eternity more than me”

if it’s annoying today to have your friends think you’re secretly in love with them just because you like their gender then imagine how tired Sappho was of it

#do you guys think her friends read her poems and were like #is this how you really feel? #id actually lose it #and then imagine how their husbands felt #like all of them probably assumed they were the target of fragment 31 #omg sappho you think im equal to god??? #sappho #if not winter
