未だ愉しみ方を分かっていない、習いたての衒い
A little excerpt from a translation I jotted down in my notebook.
I will probably be writing about anything ranging from life in Tokyo, stationery, language learning, and my translation attempts for fun, but we’ll see.
Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
