Maybe you’ve encountered somewhere the terms of “Tenth Muse” or “The Poetess”.
Well, this is Sappho.
A genius of poems and lyrics that are meant to touch your soul in the deepest way.
To me, it feels like going back in time, in the good old days, when romanticism was something so natural and genuine. Well, even if we’re not living those days, we can still go back through the help of words and why not, imagination.
Take a peek over this list of ten simply touching love quotes thought by Sappho herself and dive into her world.
