If Conservatives Won’t Listen to Me, Maybe They’ll Listen to This Guy

Sappho fragment 111

(Make the room bigger!)

Workmen, lift high the roof’s wooden beams!

All praise the God of Weddings!

Here comes the bridegroom with wood of his own!

All praise the God of Weddings!

It’s bigger than a man!  It’s as big as the God of War!

(Can the groom fit it through the doorway?  We may need to make that bigger, too!)

Sappho fragment 102

Dear mother, I cannot work my loom.
Nimble Aphrodite weakens my body
With longing for a girl.

Happy Irish Easter Dance!
