Here ,this man makes little houses
In plastic miniatures, in his garage.
We wonder if he can make plastic
Model of boy’s fear in mud house
Of phantoms from the dark jungles
Who burn bright in their shadows,
To such confusion you never know
When beauty ends and fear begins.
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.
