Rediscovered poem by Sappho — click here
I wrote a little poem of my own in celebration:
Determined that her traces be scatter'd and few,
The upstart with firm belief so sure,
Placed the condemn'd upon a pyre,
To eradicate that poetic soul by fire.
Hubris! To purify the already pure;
Still, the old endures …thus refreshingly new.
