Pauline Frederick for Sapho (1917)
Charles-August Mengin
Sappho
1877
Sapho by Jean-Baptiste Regnault (1754–1829)
Good Morning, Mr. Orwell Nam June Paik, 1984 International satellite installation
O Venus,
O Venus, beauty of the skies,
To whom a thousand temples rise,
Gaily false in gentle smiles,
Full of love-perplexing wiles;
O goddess, from my heart remove
The wasting cares and pains of love
—Sapho
“I'm not pretending; I wish I were dead.”
She was leaving me in tears,
and over and over she said to me
“Sappho, it hurts;
what's happened to us is just so grim;
it isn't my choice,
I swear it, to leave like this.”
