A Poem By Sappho

___________________________________________________________________________________




Some say
A company of horsemen

Others a legion of foot soldiers
And others a fleet of ships

Is the most beautiful thing
to behold on this black earth

I say The most beautiful
Is whomever
One loves.

Sappho 
(7th century BC)

    But what do you know...
    The poem began with Sappho

    And is trumpeted forever
    through the horn of Satchmo.

    He is not only the apple
    Of my eye
    He is the Olive
