The Poems of Sappho, Part I

Ilya Zomb, The Moon's Maid, ©1987, 32x32in / 80x80cm Oil on canvas

Then in my bosom my heart wildly flutters,
And, when on thee I gaze never so little,
Bereft am I of all power of utterance,
My tongue is useless.

Soon enough,  soon enough, the World
Shall be too small to contain that distance
And Oceans shall part, and all around applaud
The Art! No more resistance.
