Sappho, the original author of these poems, was once referred to by Plato as the “tenth muse.” In these English versions of Sappho’s poems, her sensuous, lyrical style can be felt despite the language barrier.

i KNOW i’m late to the party with this fic but me and my friends decided to read it together earlier this week and GOD it was the best decision of my life. i cannot describe how much i loved it. the plot was so intense and it made me cry, shed real tears, both small drops down my face and full on ugly sobs, both happy and sad. reading this fic felt,,,,, like a TIDE. i couldnt focus on anything else in my life for the past few days, i dreamt multiple times about gangs and mafia and everything that had to do with this fic, it consumed a large percentage of my waking hours and many of my unconscious ones too, and now that i’m finished i don’t know what to do with my life. i am broken in the BEST WAY and i’m ,,,,, snbdvsbdhdisy THANK U FOR THIS FIC
