Stars veil their beauty soon / Beside the glorious moon, / When her full silver light / Doth make the whole earth bright.
SapphoMay I write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve.
SapphoThe Moon and Pleiades have set, / Midnight is nigh, / The time is passing, passing, yet / Alone I lie.
Sappho
