The unfathomed Ocean of wide Death, at most,

And that familiar stream called sleep are one!

Phaon

Enough of this! I need you; nay, turn back

With me, and let one riotous flame of bliss

Forever burn away these withered griefs

As fire eats clean autumnal mountain-sides;

For all this sweet sad-eyed dissuasiveness

Endears like dew the flow’r of final love!

Sappho
