Some men say an army of horse and some men say an army on foot
and some men say an army of ships is the most beautiful thing
on the black earth. But I say it is
what you love.

in beauty (Helen)
left her fine husband
behind and went sailing to Troy.
Nor for her children nor her dear parents
had she a thought, no –
– from If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho, translated by Anne Carson (2002)
