Sappho Translations VI
Sappho Translations by VI Michael R. Burch Sappho, fragment 121 translation by Michael R. Burch 1. As a friend you're great, but you need a much younger bedmate. 2. Although you're very dear to me, please don't be silly! You need a much younger filly. Sappho, fragment 105c translation by Michael R. Burch Shepherds trample the larkspur whose petals empurple the heath, foreshadowing shepherds' grief. Sappho, fragment 30 translation by Michael R. Burch Virgins, keeping vigil all night long, go, make a lovely song, sing of the love you abide for the violet-robed bride. Sappho, fragment 125 translation by Michael R. Burch Love, bittersweet Dispenser of pain, Weaver of implausible fictions: flourishes in prosperity, weeps for life's perversity, quails before adversity, dies haggard, believing she's pretty. Sappho, fragment 43 translation by Michael R. Burch Come, dear ones, let us cease our singing: morning dawns. Sappho, fragment 14 translation by Michael R. Burch Today may buffeting winds bear all my distress and care away. Sappho, fragment 29 translation by Michael R. Burch Since my paps are dry and my barren womb rests, let me praise lively girls with violet-scented breasts. Sappho, fragment 1 translation by Michael R. Burch Beautiful swift sparrows rising on whirring wings flee the dark earth for the sun-bright air … Sappho, fragment 94 & 98 translation by Michael R. Burch Listen, my dear; by the Goddess I swear that I, too, (like you) had to renounce my false frigidity and surrender my virginity. My wedding night was not so bad; you too have nothing to fear, so be glad! (But then why do I sometimes still think with dread of my lost maidenhead?) Sappho, fragment 2 translation by Michael R. Burch I sip the cup of costly death; I lose my color, catch my breath whenever I contemplate your presence, or absence. Sappho, fragment 3 translation by Michael R. Burch Stars ringing the lovely moon pale to insignificance when she illuminates the earth with her magnificence. Sappho, fragment 49 translation by Michael R. Burch You have returned! You did well to not depart because I pined for you. Now you have re-lit the torch I bear for you in my heart, this flare of Love. I bless you and bless you and bless you because we're no longer apart.
