Symonds is as follows:\nThis is the dust of Timas, whom, unwed,\n Persephone locked in her darksome bed:\n For her, the maids who were her fellows, shore\n Their curls and to her tomb this tribute bore.\nThe verse is from the Greek Anthology.","title":"The Poems of Sappho: 113: This is the dust of Timas...","type":"page"}
