une comédienne

Richard Vallance

So many women at this year’s Oscars wore long trains on their dresses that I was afraid someone would trip on one.

Tant de femmes aux Oscars cette année portaient des traines longues aux robes que j’avais vraiment peur qu’une parmi elles aurait pu trébucher !  

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.
