'Yes; we did many things; then - all Beautiful ...' Lyrical; powerful poems about love; sexuality; sun-soaked Greece and the gods. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics; with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan; from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Sappho (c.630-570 BCE). Sappho's Stung with Love is available in Penguin Classics.
