The Poems of Sappho: 38: Now Love, the ineluctable...
Ἕροσ δαὖτέ μ᾽ ὀ λυσιμέλεσ δόνει,
γλυκύπικρον ἀμάχανον ὄρπετον. [transcription]
Now Love, the ineluctable, dominates and shakes my being, and fills me with bitter-sweetness.
Now Love, the ineluctable, with bitter sweetness
Fills me, overwhelms me, and shakes my being.
Quoted by Hephaestion.
