“7. Sappho 

She leaves me fragments and they are more real 

than a library of novels. Wisps of words

from centuries ago, caught in the translation.

I often feel like I am living in fragments, skipping

over words leaving the rest of the sentence 

blank in order to move on to the next page.

Maybe there is hope in fragments, that what is lost

can always be filled in by someone who knows.”

- David Levithan, The Realm of Possibility, chapter 3, Fragments. (via greciangay)
