Little remains today of her writings, which are said to have filled nine papyrus rolls in the great library at Alexandria some 500 years after her death. The surviving texts consist of a lamentably small and fragmented body of lyric poetry - among them poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, resignation and remembrance - that nevertheless enables us to hear the living voice of the poet Plato called the tenth Muse. nWith each line from Sappho J. Frederick Smith made a picture to heighten the scene. ISBN: 0877540314. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
