" I 've figured it out ! I am a lesbian ! " I exclaimed to my other sapphic friends .
我对其他的女同朋友们大喊:“我终于想明白了!我是个女同!”
Perhaps it was a deliberate plan to preserve the sapphic verse from censors , or perhaps it was simply scrap like newspapers today .
或者这是为了萨福的诗句不遭受审查而有意为之,又或者它们就像今天那些过期被丢掉的报纸一样。
Very little of the actual poetry remains , sadly , and although there were reputedly nine volumes of sapphic verse , only one full poem and a handful of almost complete ones have survived .
