ransacked to the waist, hounded under gales. of black hair, eyes burdened with longing, you are left behind, the lyre in your hand. fretted with the chords of the sea. - andrew miller
Fragments of Sappho, circa 630 - 580 BC. Translated by Anne Carson.

I want this to be a thing again. I want this to become tradition if a girl is into another girl, I want all lesbians and bisexual girls to know this sign. I want to give violets to any future girl that I’m interested in.
roses are red,
violets are lesbians,
