Sappho

Sappho:

'via Blog this' [A fragment, one that some scholars believe to be part of a continuation of the above:]

But I love extravagance,
And wanting it has handed down
The glitter and glamour of the sun
As my inheritance. [p.33]

-----------------------------------
"As you are dear to me...."
-----------------------------------

[And another fragment that refers to aging:]

As you are dear to me, go claim a younger
Bed, as your due.
I can't stand being the old one any longer,
Living with you. [p.43]
