42 the poetry <strong>of</strong> sappho<br />
<br />
Like a child to her mother I have flown to you.<br />
[Incertum 25]<br />
<br />
These are Timas’s ashes: on the threshold <strong>of</strong> her marriage<br />
she died and entered Persephone’s dark house instead,<br />
and all the girls who were her friends took fresh-honed iron<br />
to the long locks <strong>of</strong> their lovely hair and laid them on this grave.<br />
[EG, <strong>Sappho</strong> II]
