Evening star
Hesperus, you bring home all the bright dawn disperses
bring home the sheep, bring home the goat,
bring home the child to it's mother.

About Me
- Name: Kate
I love nature. I talk to plants and animals. They talk back. Or perhaps I'm deluded. Either way, I'm entertained. I hope you will be too.

Hesperus brings home the money grubbing spammers too!
Kate, I recipricated yer link, thanks!
LOL. I'll leave the spam up there (I normally delete it) because the contrast is funny. Thanks Ticharu. I do believe you and I are on the same "page". :-)
Sappho was such a goddess of inspiration!
Hope you are well, my lady!
That is really lovely,, I read Sappho while passing by Lesbos on a cruise,, wish we had stopped there,,, but the cruise had a decidedly Christian overtone,,, and we hit Patmos instead,,, yuck horrible place,, lovely people,,, but understand why it was a prison.......
..... One of my favorite lines:
A troop of horse, the serried ranks of marchers,
A noble fleet, some think these of all on earth
Most beautiful. For me naught else regarding
Is my beloved.
She was a lover, not a fighter.

OK Kate ... now I know what my next project will be at the Library next week! Oh yes, after years, since I started reading Blogs I got me a libray card ... Sappho here I come. But first I am going to check the Internet!
Whew ... After all this education I am receiving, someone is going to have to test me and give me a degree of some sort ...;)
Lonesomepolecat, I love that poem!
Wow - all of my friends are here! Yet I feel out of place... I will have to hit the library as well.
I love how you guys have favorite Sappho fragments as well! :-)
As a librarian, I do advocate the library card. I personally have about 15 books overdue from each branch of my public library at any given time! They say librarians are the worst for keeping books overdue. :-)
Beautifully written comment on my blog Kate, thanks, as I like to imagine that God/Creator is a supeior being, I was just pointing out the shortcomings of a human description of the entity, and what might motivate people to try and describe that which defies description.
