Sappho is one of my favorite ancient poets. I’ve found some wonderful pieces by her, and also some good quotes. This one is probably my favorite:

“Here cold water babbles through apple branches, and roses keep the whole place in shadow, and from the quivering leaves a trance of slumber falls; here a meadow, where horses pasture, blooms with flowers of spring, and the breezes gently blow.” ~Sappho

This was sent to me by a friend who also has an Arabian horse. Thought I would share it.

My treasures do not clink together or glitter, they gleam in the sun and neigh in the night. - Arab proverb

And another one I’ve used as a sig on some forums:

“The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse’s ears.” ~ Arabian proverb

My girl should be here towards the end of the month. Finally.
