At the end of the bough–its uttermost end,
Missed by the harvesters, ripens the apple,
Nay, not overlooked, but far out of reach,
So with all best things.
-Sappho

an Ancient Armitage poetry moment…
Beautiful words. Kind of reminds me of a haiku. And I can see how that would appeal to an Armitage aficionado. Please more, if you come across it.
Alas…like so much of Sappho, it’s a preserved fragment of a longer poem. *Sigh*
It certainly appeals to me! 😉 Thanks for sharing!!
Lovely! Stunner of a photo too. For some reason, I really like his shoes.
That whole photo session is incredible. I particularly love this one…especially those Quintessentially American kicks! 😀
Lovely portrait, lovely poem! Thanks for sharing!
ohh Sappho, such a way with words she had.. what a shame there is no more of her works for us to enjoy.
Thanks for the combo, it really works 🙂 The Ascroft that just keeps on giving…. what would we do without it? 🙂
