    Cute ! Looks like it is helping her to sleep as she is perfectly relaxed.

      Yes, actually, she is so relaxed with it on that it makes no difference. She always sleeps on the sofa anyway. But the bow tie fell off the other day and I cannot find it. It will turn up sooner or later!

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.
