Sapphic Seduction: A Lesbian Erotica Collection

Product Information

There are many different pride flags symbolizing most queer identities, so it should come as no surprise there is a flag for sapphic people to proudly fly. Fifteen-year-old Morgan has a secret: She can’t wait to escape the perfect little island where she lives. Then one night, Morgan is saved from drowning by a mysterious girl named Keltie. But Keltie has some secrets of her own. And as the girls start to fall in love, everything they’re each trying to hide will find its way to the surface… When Evelyn Hugo, an iconic actress from Hollywood’s Golden Age, approaches a young journalist to tell her life story, she expects to hear about Evelyn’s iconic seven husbands. But instead, she hears about the true love of Evelyn’s life. If you are like me, however, this explanation will make as much sense as reading Sappho in the original Greek. So, here’s my version of Sapphics for Dummies:

I have to get to some writing; I’m a little bit behind. But I would still like to mention my first reactions to “The Eunuch” before that experience dissipates. [Reasoned thought may or may not be forthcoming. Sorry for the cursory thoughts.] In Season 12, Kerry hires Dr. Victor Clemente as a new ER Attending. From the start, he got along badly with most of the staff, particularly Luka, the new Chief of Emergency Medicine, and Pratt. In the episode " Quintessence of Dust", Clemente and his girlfriend, Jodie, came in after being shot by Jodie's police officer husband. At the time, the ER staff believed he was guilty of the shooting. He finally was fired when he compromised patient care and opened the hospital for lawsuits. Kerry tried to divert the fire towards Luka who was put on the firing line by Dr. Anspaugh.Note that my choice of syllabic emphasis follows that of Swineburne rather than Watts. Other poets, including some of those noted above, have opted to vary the form in other ways to suit their particular needs. However, after returning to the ER, Mark showed differences in his personality and sometimes said the wrong word like saying "she" instead of "he." In the view of this and of Mark's new brusqueness with patients, Kerry had him evaluated for professional competency. This made Elizabeth furious and, though Mark passed, they didn't invite her to their wedding. Though Mark and Kerry make up later, Elizabeth remained very unfriendly to her until Season 10.

Written in Latin, the Sapphic stanza was already one of the most popular verseforms of the Middle Ages, but Renaissance poets began composing Sapphics in several vernacular languages, preferring Horace as their model above their immediate Medieval Latin predecessors. [1] I really like the poem, despite its various flaws. It has an enormous power missing from my tennos on Sappho. As I am so grounded in reality, however, I dislike its imaginative flights, which I am sure a lot of people find appealing and actually come to poetry

On an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, a female painter is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman. Our mission is to inform, inspire, connect, and empower the global LGBT+ community by shining a light on the world’s most fabulous gay destinations. As to the Swineburne ancep, I confess that I mistakenly bolded the final syllable in the cited example which, as you point out, ought to have been marked as unstressed. Oddly enough I also agree with you that the final syllable of each line (at least in the few examples of reputable English sapphics that I could find–20 perhaps) are, or ought to be, unstressed. I found, however, in reading articles by authors I assumed were more knowledgeable than myself, that the final syllable was nearly always presented as being stressed. In writing the article, I reluctantly submitted to that consensus but am in no way bound by it–as can be seen in the unstressed (although intentionally “androgynous”) final syllables of my own poem.

Mr. Tweedie is right: he need not offer a defense for his sapphics, as I indeed would not offer one for Swinburne’s. The battle for poetic power is hard, as even Vergil knew. Vigour is wanted in all of our poetry and our prose (including that of our groupie historian Mr. Burch). At the end of the season, Dr. Romano, who was a staunch homophobe, tried to have Kim fired by bringing up bogus charges. Kerry, outraged at Romano's actions, tries to convince Kim to fight him. But she refuses as she "doesn't want to work in a place that doesn't accept her". Kerry continues to try and change Romano's mind and starts to confide in Dr. Luka Kovač about this. Understanding Kerry's feelings, Luka keeps her secret and makes her realize the true depth of her feelings for Kim.

Welcome to the new and improved, updated for 2021, sapphic masterlist! This is now our third year of running F/F February and therefore our third masterlist (you can see last year’s iteration of it here). You may think you’ve seen it all before, but this year we are adding exciting new features – such as AO3 tags (for the books we have read), more specific clarification on the rep featured and buy links. Sapphic verse resurfaced once again in 17th and 18th century England when mastery of the classical languages of Greek and Latin was required for students attending universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. The mandatory study of the poetry of Horace and the requirement to compose poetry in both ancient languages exposed students to this previously-neglected form. When Coleridge, for example, won the Cambridge “Greek Ode” prize, he won it with a poem written in Sapphic meter.To avoid over-exposing the character of Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards), the producers and writers decided to add a second authority figure to take the weight off of that character. However, where Greene was seen as the friendly boss that everyone got along with, they wanted a boss that was far more by the book and antagonistic. A few centuries later, the Roman poet Catullus admired Sappho's work and used the Sapphic stanza in two poems: Catullus 11 (commemorating the end of his affair with Clodia) and Catullus 51 (marking its beginning). [4] The latter is a free translation of Sappho 31. [5]
