Tramontata è la luna E le Plejadi a mezzo della notte; Anche giovinezza già dilegua, E ormai nel mio letto resto sola.
Due liriche di Saffo
Song Cycle by Goffredo Petrassi (1904 - 2003)

Venite al tempio sacro delle vergini Dov'è più grato il bosco E sulle are fuma l'incenso. Qui fresca l'acqua mormora tra i rami dei meli: Il luogo è all'ombra dei roseti, Dallo stormire delle foglie nasce profonda quiete. Qui il prato ove meriggiano i cavalli È tutto fiori della primavera E gli aneti vi odorano soavi. E qui con impeto, dominatrice Versa Afrodite nelle tazze d'oro Chiaro vino celeste con la gioia.
