Status Updates From If Not, Winter: Fragments o...

"and if nothing, but now dont" oh this book means a lot to me specifically

"who honoured me by giving their works" god i love sappho

enloquecí y me leí todos los poemas de una, solo me quedan las notas, creo que quiero ir a tocar la lira a la isla de lesbos

Someone will remember us, I say even in another time

But me you have forgotten ✨

Go and remember me. 🤎

I long and seek after

no hay palabra que esta mujer haya escrito que no haga que me quiera matar

86, ‘hear my prayer if ever at other times.’

Finished the poetry!
Gonna read the notes tomorrow!

Double whammy: not only is it largely lost, it's also in translation!!!! 😩😩😩😩
