#“Some say there are nine Muses. Count again. Behold the tenth: Sappho of Lesbos.” - Plato

[kaleb-is-definitely-sane]

Moodboard: Sappho of Lesbos

"Eros, again now, the loosener of limbs troubles me, Bittersweet, sly, uncontrollable creature..."

"That man seems to me to be equal to the gods who is sitting opposite you and hears you nearby speaking sweetly and laughing delightfully, which indeed makes my heart flutter in my breast; for when I look at you even for a short time, it is no longer possible for me to speak but it is as if my tongue is broken and immediately a subtle fire has run over my skin, I cannot see anything with my eyes, and my ears are buzzing a cold sweat comes over me, trembling seizes me all over, I am paler than grass, and I seem nearly to have died.

-Sappho Fragment 31
