"I declare
That later on,
Even in an age unlike our own,
Someone will remember who we are."
My only regret is that so much of Sappho's works were lost. I had heard her name and of her poetry, but I had not realised the impact she had had on poetry since her very existence, over 25 centuries ago. I've read translations, and I don't understand Ancint Greek, but I am certain it would be even more inspiring in its original tongue.
