The moon and then the Pleiades
In honour of one of the largest moons in recent times I thought to post one of the smallest moon poems of all times…
Tonight I’ve watched
The moon and then
the Pleiades
go downThe night is now
half-gone; youth
goes; I amin bed alone
Sappho (trans. Mary Barnard)
(Apparently several editors have denied this is by Sappho but then they fail to say who else might have written it..)
