A Hymn To Venus Comments

excellent Hymn To Venus- Celestial visitant, once more Thy needful presence I implore. In pity come, and ease my grief, Bring my distempered soul relief, Favour thy suppliant's hidden fires, And give me all my heart desires. /// praiseworthy Hymn on the goddess of beauty Venus/// truly enjoyable

Well expressed thoughts and feelings. An insightful work of art..........................................................................

Very good lyric for a song

Invoking the divine through these lines of a lovely poem. Great sharing sir.

The poem reflects many faces of longing and love for the beloved. A divine invocation. Thanks. Though now he shuns thy longing arms, He soon shall court thy slighted charms; In pity come, and ease my grief, Bring my distempered soul relief,

i had no idea that poetry rhymed back in Sappho's day so this poem answers a timeless question; which came first prose or rhyme? at any rate beautiful poem still timeless and timely after all these centuries...

...............truly love this rhyming poem.....a joy to read....

Sappho, where did you have your portrait done, it is very unusual looking? (smile)
