书籍介绍
在欧美文学传统里，如果荷马是父亲，那么萨福就是母亲，是姊妹，是情人。她的歌声热情奔放，绰约闪烁，飘摇不定，穿过两千六百年的黑暗，像火一样燃烧，如大理石一样清凉。然而当我们侧耳细听，就只有冷泉潺湲，在古希腊残缺不全的石像下哽咽。
（注释：绰约chuò yuē形容女子姿态柔美的样子，语出《庄子•逍遥游》：“肌肤若冰雪，绰约若处子。”潺湲：chán yuán水慢慢流动的样子。语出《楚辞.九歌.湘夫人》：“荒忽兮远望，观流水兮潺湲。”）
用户评论
‘Breaking and tortured and torturing, but never broken, She is the island of artistic perfection where the lover of ancient beauty (shipwrecked in the modern world) may yet find foothold and take breath and gain courage for new adventures and dream of yet unexplored continents and realms of future artistic achievement. She is the wise Sappho.’
‘Come to me now. Drive off this brutal distress.
Accomplish what my pride demands.
Come, please, and in this battle
Stand at my side.’
maybe one should only read the original
2月时读萨福的诗，我说她让我产生正在春暖花开的错觉，3月再来读，还是无法抗拒她的热烈。封面配的画和诗旁边的notes都很好。
Do not smite me with anguish and fever...
