Anacreon, Fr. 428 (Hephaestion, Handbook on Meters)

~ sententiaeantiquae

“I love and again do not love

I am insane and yet sane too”

ἐρέω τε δηὖτε κοὐκ ἐρέω
καὶ μαίνομαι κοὐ μαίνομαι

Anacreon after Anacreonta? We are insane and sane, too.

Hephaestion? Not the friend/lover of Alexander, but a grammarian. Still sexy.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
