L'autre blog de ScriiiptSappho, figure libre
Sappho est une figure insaisissable : presque aucune source fiable, une œuvre réduite à des fragments, une biographie reconstruite. Chaque époque l'a réécrite à sa façon. Pour les Héritières de Sappho, une aide de jeu pour Verne et Associés 1913, on a choisi délibérément la Sappho de Renée Vivien et de son cercle parisien.https://scriiipt.wordpress.com/2026/05/12/sappho-figure-libre/
Erotic Mythology 🌈"Please Abánthis, your Sappho calls you:
won’t you take your Lydian lyre and play
another song to Góngyla while desire still
flutters your heart-strings
for that girl, that beautiful girl: her dresses’
clinging makes you shake when you see it"
#Sappho 22

If only they had woven me such luck,
Aphrodita crowned with golden leaves,
When my cloth was on the loom.

Come, then, loose me from cruelties.
Give my tethered heart its full desire.
Fulfill, and, come, lock your shield with mine
Throughout the siege.

Hide their shining forms

damian entwistleToday's poem:
[I seek and desire]
- by Sappho
translated from the ancient Greek by Bliss Carman
I seek and desire,
Even as the wind
That travels the plain
And stirs in the bloom
Of the apple-tree.
I wander through life,
With the searching mind
That is never at rest,
Till I reach the shade
Of my lover’s door.
