Is THAT a good idea, or a just a cop-out. I will have to investigate this myself in the next few days, and post my interpretation of this fragment, which I have never yet seen… oddly enough (for me, that is). One thing is certain.

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
