Now living near sea ,we realize
We have not marked our earth
Like lions piss in a jungle to do.
We are lions of heart , as brave.
Our bodies piss too many times
To be able to smell-mark earth.
As smell-marks evaporate soon,
We end up in vast wild wastes.
Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
