„Virginity, virginity, when you leave me, where do you go? I am gone and never come back to you. I never return.“
— Sappho
Fragment 114 Voigt, http://books.google.com/books?id=fwxgAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Virginity+virginity+when+you+leave+me+where+do+you+go+I+am+gone+and+never+come+back+to+you+I+never+return%22&pg=PA57#v=onepage
„Some say cavalry and others claim
infantry or a fleet of long oars
is the supreme sight on the black earth.
I say it is
the one you love. And easily proved.
Didn't Helen, who far surpassed all
mortals in beauty, desert the best
of men, her king,
and sail off to Troy and forget
her daughter and her dear parents? Merely
Aphrodite's gaze made her readily bend
and led her far
from her path. These tales remind me now
of Anaktoria who isn't here,
yet I
for one
would rather see her warm supple step
and the sparkle in her face than watch all
the chariots in Lydia and foot soldiers armored
in glittering bronze.“
— Sappho

„Look at him, just like a god,
that man sitting across from you,
whoever he is,
listening to your
close, sweet voice,
your irresistible laughter
And O yes,
it sets my heart racing—
one glance at you
and I can't get any words out,
my voice cracks,
a thin flame runs under my skin,
my eyes go blind,
my ears ring,
a cold sweat pours down my body,
I tremble all over,
turn paler than grass.“
— Sappho
