Sappho

I really enjoyed these for many reasons. One reason is that at first glance the poems seemed to be harmless and G rated. This all changes though when you start to understand what is being written about and the suggestive language and metaphors that are being used. Many of these metaphors are pornographic in nature and kind of hard to understand but do a great job of portraying emotion.
