Sappho

309 books2,039 followers
Work of Greek lyric poet Sappho, noted for its passionate and erotic celebration of the beauty of young women and men, after flourit circa 600 BC and survives only in fragments.

Ancient history poetry texts associate Sappho (Σαπφώ or Ψάπφω) sometimes with the city of Mytilene or suppose her birth in Eresos, another city, sometime between 630 BC and 612 BC. She died around 570 BC. People throughout antiquity well knew and greatly admired the bulk, now lost, but her immense reputation endured.

Plenilunio

Gli astri intorno alla luna
bella
celano il chiaro viso
quando, colma di lume, piú dilaga
sopra la terra.

Notte deserta

È sparita la luna,
le Pleiadi. Notte
alta.
L'ora del tempo varca.
Io dormo
sola.

Uccelli migranti

Uccelli: che uccelli, venuti
dall'estremo del mare e del mondo?
Anatre mandarine:
il collo è di tutti i colori e lunga l'ala.

Mattinata

Ho spezzato un frammento di focaccia sottile,
ho scolato un orciolo di vino: il mio pranzo.
Ora faccio vibrare
mollemente la mia cetra d'amore
canto la serenata alla ragazza.
