Killing Eve scenes as Sappho quotes: a thread
My heart
Is absolutely
broken I can
feel every beat
Your love would be for me
And the Gods would use the sun to shine in answer
The rays of light on your face
But the sun did not shine
Your love having been stained
For your love is not for me
What cannot be said will be wept.
Sweet mother, I cannot weave –
slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl
you burn me
you came and I was crazy for you
and you cooled my mind that burned with longing
If not, I would remind you
... of our wonderful times.
For by my side you put on
many wreaths of roses
and garlands of flowers
around your soft neck.
And with precious and royal perfume
you anointed yourself.
Then you my goddess with your immortal lips
Would ask what now afflicts me, why again
No holy place existed without us then,
no woodland, no dance, no sound.
Stand to face me beloved
And open out the grace of your eyes
frequently
for those
I treat well are the ones who most of all
harm me
but me you have forgotten
or you love some man more than me
My heart
flutters in my breast whenever
I quickly glance at you-
I can say nothing
honey voice ...
soft voice ...
Come to me now thus, Goddess, and release me
From distress and pain; and all my distracted
Heart would seek, do thou, once again fulfilling, Still be my ally!
the time is passing,
but I sleep alone.
