Sappho - CleisSappho - Cleis
Work rating: Medium


Sleep, darling I have a small daughter called Cleis, who is like a golden flower        I wouldn`t take all Croesus` kingdom with love thrown in, for her —- Don`t ask me what to wear I have no embroidered headband from Sardis to give you, Cleis, such as I wore        and my mother always said that in her day a purple ribbon looped in the hair was thought to be high style indeed but we were dark:                 a girl whose hair is yellower than torchlight should wear no headdress but fresh flowers
