Stung with Love by Sappho

Stung with Love by Sappho

Sappho wrote nine books of poetry on Lesbos in the seventh century BC. One complete poem survives. Everything else exists as fragments — quoted by later grammarians, or recovered from papyrus used to wrap mummies.

What remains is enough to explain why antiquity called her the tenth Muse. The description of the body's reaction to seeing a beloved across a room is still the most exact thing written on the subject in two and a half thousand years, and the gaps in the damaged fragments do a strange amount of work.

Aaron Poochigian's translation with facing notes — the best current edition for general readers.
