For when I see thee even a little I am bereft of utterance, my tongue is useless and at once a subtle fire races under my skin, my eyes see nothing, my ears ring, sweat pours forth and all my body is seized with trembling. I am paler than [dried] grass and seem in my madness little better than dead, but I must dare all ...\nI\nPeer of the gods, the happiest man I seem\n Sitting before thee, rapt at thy sight, hearing\n Thy soft laughter and they voice most gentle,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Speaking so sweetly.\nII\nThen in my bosom my heart wildly flutters,\n And, when on thee I gaze never so little,\n Bereft am I of all power of utterance,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0My tongue is useless.\nIII\nThere rushes at once through my flesh tingling fire,\n My eyes are deprived of all power of vision,\n My ears hear nothing by sounds of winds roaring,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0And all is blackness.\nDown courses in streams the sweat of emotion,\n A dread trembling o'erwhelms me, paler than I\n Than dried grass in autumn, and in my madness\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Dead I seem almost.","title":"The Poems of Sappho: 2: That one seems to me the equal of...","type":"page"}
