Oh, how distant Aphrodite’s
Lush, full-bodied labials are,
While I, by loneliness wretched,
Half-crazed and wasted, am fated
To lie here—how long?—bemoaning
My lot on this solitary, desolate shore.

The Erotic Aegean: An Anthology Of Greek
Love Poetry, Eressos, Mytilene,
1969, (trans. Saffilis Zaengmac).
