This week’s Quote of the Fortnight features a poem from Anne Carson’s translation of Sappho, one of the greatest poets of all time. Not much survives of Sappho’s work, but her fragments have been expertly translated by Carson in If Not, Winter. This quote is short, but fascinating given the fact that Sappho has been remembered:

This book has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time now, and you have inspired me to finally pick it up! This short quote is really lovely – thank you for sharing!
