And laughter stinging through the eyes and ears:

Saw Love, as burning flame from crown to feet,

Imperishable, upon her storied seat;

Clear eyelids lifted toward the north and south,

A mind of many colours, and a mouth

Of many tunes and kisses; and she bowed,

With all her subtle face laughing aloud,

Bowed down upon me, saying, 'Who doth thee wrong,

Sappho?' but thou—thy body is the song,

Thy mouth the music; thou art more than I,
