Sappho
“for when i look at you, even a moment, no
speaking is left in me
no: tongue breaks and thin
fire is racing under skin”
Sappho, If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho

Anna Akhmatova
“Madness with its wings
Has covered half my soul
It feeds me fiery wine
And lures me into the abyss.

That's when I understood
While listening to my alien delirium
That I must hand the victory
To it.”
Anna Akhmatova

Euripides
“the transcendent gladness of grapes and wine so beneficial to body, soul and psyche’s interior design.”
Euripides, Bakkhai

Euripides
“tis a majestic thing, The darkness.”
Euripides, The Bacchae

Anna Akhmatova
“I drink to our ruined house, to the dolor of my life, to our loneliness together; and to you I raise my glass, to lying lips that have betrayed us, to dead-cold pitiless eyes, and to the hard realities; that the world is brutal and coarse, that God, in fact, has not saved us.”
Anna Akhmatova
