63. Sappho: Poem I
    Text, translation, and interpretation by William Harris PhD, Prof.em. Middlebury College  
    http://www.middlebury.edu/~harris/Texts/sappho.1.html
    
    Extractions: SAPPHO's only complete Poem: NUMBER I (A detailed introduction to Sappho and her world is included in the article SAPPHO under the TRANSLATIONS index on the main index page. The following is the text/commentary section of that longer treatment. The Greek text is available at that location.) This poem is the only complete one we have from the several volumes of Sappho's poetry which were circulating as late as the 8 th c.. A.D. It has always been prized as remarkably sensitive and elegant, but there are dimensions which I believe have not been explored or interpretated. Let me give you first the text in Roman letters for those who do not read Greek, so they can at least read the words aloud and get their general sound. The translation which follows is necessary since Sappho's Aeolic dialect is not the normal Attic Greek you learn in in school, and I believe some help is called for. Of course this translation loses immense detail, specifically the long and short vowels which make a real difference in Greek. There is no initial aspiration -h- in Aeolic so that no problem. The letters -ch- are of course more like -kh-, and the exact pronunciation of the consonants is not exactly known after the passage of two and a half millennia, not surprisingly. The accents which are printed in modern texts may not be the same as Aeolic intonation, but modern Classicists ignore the musical pitches completely, which again removes a critical part of Sappho's lyric poetry. But the poem is readable, singable, soundable as it is, with some imagination.

66. Isle Of Lesbos: Poetry Of Sappho
    Biography and selected works in translation of the Greek sappho, preeminent woman poet of antiquity.  
    http://www.sappho.com/poetry/sappho.html
    
    Extractions: circa 630 B.C. One of the great Greek lyrists and few known female poets of the ancient world, Sappho was born some time between 630 and 612 BC. She was an aristocrat who married a prosperous merchant, and she had a daughter named Cleis. Her wealth afforded her with the opportunity to live her life as she chose, and she chose to spend it studying the arts on the isle of Lesbos. In the seventh century BC, Lesbos was a cultural center. Sappho spent most her time on the island, though she also traveled widely throughout Greece. She was exiled for a time because of political activities in her family, and she spent this time in Sicily. By this time she was known as a poet, and the residents of Syracuse were so honored by her visit that they erected a statue to her. Sappho was called a lyrist because, as was the custom of the time, she wrote her poems to be performed with the accompaniment of a lyre. Sappho composed her own music and refined the prevailing lyric meter to a point that it is now known as

67. Isle Of Lesbos: Poetry Of Wu Tsao
    This page includes a brief biography and a small selection of poems.  
    http://www.sappho.com/poetry/wu_tsao.html
    
    Extractions: 19th Century Wu Tsao was born sometime around 1800; her year of birth and death are uncertain. She was the daughter of a merchant and married a merchant herself. Her experiences with these men were not positive and she sought out the company of women, as friends and as lovers. She wrote erotic poems to courtesans, creating unashamed lyric passages full of the sweetness of yearning. She was China's great lesbian poet, and she was popular while she lived, her songs sung throughout China. Her poetry dealt with a variety of topics, unlike other women poets of her time. This versatility, combined with casual style and personal tone, probably contributed to her popularity. Later in life, Wu Tsao moved to seclusion and became a Taoist priestess. tz'u poets of the Ching (Manchu) Dynasty. Given the quality of Wu Tsao's work and her history, it is disturbing to find that her name rarely appears in Western profiles of poets, and she is not included in literary discussions of the lesbian poetic tradition.

69. Sappho
    sappho (c.600 BCE) SOMEONEIN ANOTHER TIME WILL REMEMBER US 2. Essays on sappho  
    http://www.tl.infi.net/~ddisse/sappho.html
    
    Extractions: Sappho was born in the late 700s BCE on Lesbos, one of the larger islands in the Aegean, near Lydia (now Turkey). Lesbos was important for trade between mainland Greece and the kingdoms of Asia; it was also a cultural center. Sappho was probably from an aristocratic family of the city of Mytiline; she probably married and had at least one daughter. She may have spent some time in exile in Sicily. Her poetry suggests that she was the center of a closely-knit group of women; we don't know if this was some kind of an academy or a chorus of singers. We do know that Sappho composed epithalmia (marriage songs) for performance by a group. But her preferred form seems to have been songs to be sung or recited by an individual to the accompaniment of a lyre, some perhaps for religious or civic festivals. Over 200 fragments of Sappho's poetry are extant, but many of these are only a few words long. One poem, usually called the "Hymn to Aphrodite" (see online), may be complete, but we aren't sure. But even from fragments we can tell that Sappho had the ability to look at herself and others clearly-often ironically-and the ability to make us hear her voice.

    sappho (c. 625 BC), sappho was an ancient Greek poet, from the city of Mytileneon the island of Lesbos, which was a cultural centre in the 7th century BC.  
    http://www.malaspina.com/site/person_1018.asp
    
    Extractions: Sappho was an ancient Greek poet, from the city of Mytilene on the island of Lesbos, which was a cultural centre in the 7th century BC. Today the island is known as Mytilene. She was born sometime between 630 BC and 612 BC It was said that she was small and dark. Sappho was married to a wealthy merchant, and they had a daughter named Cleis. She became very famous in her day for her poetry so much so that the city of Syracuse built a statue to honor her when she visited. Her family was politically active, which caused Sappho to travel a great deal. She was also noted during her life as the headmistress of a sort of Greek finishing school for girls. Most likely the objects of her poetry were her students. She was a lyric poet who developed her own particular meter, known as sapphic meter , and she was credited for leading an aesthetic movement away from classical themes of gods, to the themes of individual human experience. The Greeks were so enamoured of her poetry that they referred to her as the "tenth Muse". Sappho wrote mainly love poems, of which only fragments survive, save a single complete poem, Fragment 1, Hymn to Aphrodite

    http://www.sappho.com/poetry/m_madeln.html
    
    Extractions: Note: Biographical material on Marie-Madeleine was most graciously provided to me by one of Marie Madeleine's grandsons. He cautions that, at this time, some of this information is anecdotal. Marie Madeleine Gunther was born on April 4, 1881 in Eydtkuhnen (then East Prussia, today Russian) to Karl Gunther, a merchant, and Emmy Siemssen. On August 2, 1900, at age nineteen, Marie Madeleine married General Heinrich Georg Ludwig Freiherr (Baron) von Puttkamer. He was 35 years her senior. Three years later she gave birth to her only child, Jesco Gunther Heinrich. They lived in Grunewald, a top-grade suburb of Berlin. In her time, under the name of Marie Madeleine, she established a name for herself as a writer of unusually lyrical, stunningly sensual, shockingly erotic and hotly passionate poetry and prose (she wrote short stories and novellas). She published individual poems in journals (such as "Champagne frappe" in Das Narrenschiff [Ship of Fools]). In 1900, she published her first collection

    A brief biography of Dickinson, as well as three of her poems and a selection of related reading material available both online and off.  
    http://www.sappho.com/poetry/e_dickin.html
    
    Extractions: Emily Dickinson, one of America's most famous poets, was born in Amherst to a prominent family. She was educated at Amerherst Academy, the institution her grandfather helped found. She spent a year at the Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, but left because she didn't like the religious environment and because her parents asked her home. In her twenties, Emily led a busy social life, but she became more reclusive with each passing year. By her thirties, she stayed to her home and withdrew when visitors arrived. She developed a reputation as a myth, because almost never seen and, when people did catch sight of her, she was always wearing white. But while she withdrew from physical contact with people, she did not withdraw from them mentally. Emily was an avid letter-writer who corresponded with a great number of friends and relatives. 1000 of these letters (a portion of what she wrote) survived her death, and they show her letter writing to be very similar to her poetic styleenigmatic and abstract, sometimes fragmented, and often forcefully sudden in emotion. Emily often included poetry with her letters to friends. Her friends encouraged her to publish, but after an attempt to do so in 1860 (when the publisher suggested she hold off) Emily did not appear to try again. The eight poems that were published in her lifetime were primarily poems submitted by her friends without her permission. Her death revealed 1768 more poems.

    Extractions: Immensely famous in the ancient world, Sappho was a lyric poet loved throughout the ages for the beauty of her writing. Her poems were collected into nine volumes in ancient libraries, but today only one complete poem survives. Then we have one sixteen-line fragment and the rest are bits, known mostly from later writers who quoted her work. In spite of this tragic loss, the intensity and power of her poetry can still be felt. Fragment 31 V
