In future time, when we are merely thought, I say
that other poets will remember us, and they
will, in their fashion, sing as we consort today.
Sappho, Fragment 147
μνάσεσθαί τινά φαμι † καὶ ὔστερον † ἀμμέων .
A rose may grow beside a cedar, and the tree
Not know it; Boaz, looking on God’s countenance,
Had no idea he slept with female company.
In future time, when we are merely thought, I say
that other poets will remember us, and they
will, in their fashion, sing as we consort today.
μνάσεσθαί τινά φαμι † καὶ ὔστερον † ἀμμέων .
