Awed by her splendor
Awed by her splendor
stars near the lovely
moon cover their own
bright faces
when she
is roundest and lights
earth with her silver

Beauty Night and Moon Sky, Stars and Universe

Sappho was an ancient Greek lyric poet from the island of Lesbos. Revered in antiquity as one of the greatest poets, her work is known for its intense emotion, focus on personal relationships, and exploration of themes like love, desire, and beauty. Though much of her poetry is lost, the surviving fragments offer a glimpse into a unique and powerful voice that has resonated through centuries.
