Sappho

Before coming to class I had learned the history behind the word "lesbian". Now, after reading the poems I have an even clear understanding. While I was reading there were a few times where I would stop and read over the same line a few times because I thought there were some quotes worthy of more attention. Some quotes I found to be very beautiful and others I found inspiring. For example, "If anything happens to one who desires it, and wishes and never expects it, it’s a special delight to the mind." I particularly like this quote because it think it describes all aspects of spontaneity in just a simple, short sentence.
