Thank you both. I can honestly say that these Sappho poems are not coming from the same place as the others. The voice in them is coming through my fingers but I'm not intellectualizing them. Just typing. I agree with the due time theory however. The thing is that what you get, in time, is often not what you might have ever wanted or predicted. I am certain from what I've read of Sappho that she'd agree. Star wishing on the other hand is the solar system's great parlor trick, just look at all the winking.
This is beautiful...I want so much for it to be true.
ReplyDeleteAs both a wisher on stars and one who trusts due time, I'm not sure which has served me better... but either way, this *does* ring beautiful and true.
