Fragment 121 (Voigt 122)

‘It is something natural that people who fancy themselves beautiful and elegant should be fond of flowers; on which account the companions of Persephone are represented as gathering flowers. And Sappho says she saw—

ἄνθε’ ἀμέργουσαν παῖδ’ ἄγαν ἁπαλάν,

‘A maiden full tender plucking flowers.’
