Sapphic Speeches - Human AI

Engineered by Helena Rutkowska (@helenaheritage on X).

A project that aims to fill in the gaps of Sappho's poetry and to remind everyone that to live is to be creative for no reason.

Sapphic speeches - Ancient Greek - Creativity - Poems
Thank you to everyone supporting my little project so far. It means a lot.

Has anyone had a go at composing any Sapphic Speeches themselves?

Please do let me know - even via DM! I love reading other people's poetry! Thanks 💜🙏😇

... And I know that I live in Britain/ but I write in Latin/ because love is also dead. //

What do you guys think? Should I try to write more Latin poetry (since my Greek is far too shoddy)?

Thanks for reading as ever!

Translation:

I walk in the city/ and I think:/ "Will I find a good man?"/ I see the trees, flowers and sky,/ But I am sad and serious,/ Because it is difficult to see good things,/ when I am alone and you are gone./ I prefer to walk through the rain/ because it hides my tears./ ...

It's weird how much you can overthink every little thing when sometimes, you have to admit that all you are is a speck of dust in the universe and nothing really MATTERS anyway.

But enough dark matter... I mean... humour.

Hope some more of you join in soon! <3 ^ oo (infinity?)

Am I *the* philosopher? Am I *a* crazy woman (read: person)?

Does nor-mal exist? Normal Norman. What did Odysseus call himself in the cave of Cyclops?

"No man." I'm not *a* man. But I *am* no body.

I am trying to sleep
Or am I really not?
Confusion confounds me
Confucius confuses me.
I sharpened my pencil too much & it keeps breaking on me. SNAP!!!
