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 .
Summer has prevailed at last, and in this state
Of solo contemplation, suddenly
You have an escort in a blur of wings:
Midnight in daylight.
