by Sappho
Long ago beloved, thy memory, Atthis,
Saddens still my heart as the soft Æolic
Twilight deepens down on the sea, and fitful
Winds that have wandered
Over groves of myrtle at Amathonte
Waft forgotten passion on breaths of perfume.
Long ago, how madly I loved thee, Atthis!
Faithless, light-hearted
Loved one, mine no more, who lovest another
More than me; the silent flute and the faded
Garlands haunt the heart of me thou forgettest,
Long since thy lover.
a) The speaker still feels sad about Atthis's unfaithfulness.
b) The speaker feels wonder at the amount of time that has passed.
c) The speaker feels sad and nostalgic because Atthis has forgotten her.
