Summary: "Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics" by Bliss Carman is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century, specifically around the year 1907. This book attempts to recreate the lost works of Sappho, an ancient Greek poetess revered for her lyrical mastery and emotional depth. Carman's work is an imaginative and interpretive construction that seeks to capture the essence of Sappho's voice and the themes of love, longing, and beauty that she famously expressed in her original poems. In this collection, Carman channels the spirit of Sappho, weaving together a series of one hundred lyrical pieces that echo the themes and styles of the original texts, many of which have been lost to history. The poems reflect Sappho's deep emotional connection to love and nature, often addressing her beloved, exploring the complexities of desire, and expressing profound feelings of isolation and longing. Through images of lush landscapes and vivid emotional landscapes, Carman paints a portrait of both Sappho's world and her own, making the ancient poet's experiences resonate with contemporary readers. The lyrical quality of the poetry captures a timeless essence that speaks to the heart of human experience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
