Sappho Night Quotations

The Moon and Pleiades have set, / Midnight is nigh, / The time is passing, passing, yet / Alone I lie.

The moon is setand the Pleiades; Middle ofthe night, time passes by,I lie alone.

The moon has set, and the Pleiades; it is midnight, and time passes, and I sleep alone.

All the while, believe me, I prayed our night would last twice as long.
