Sappho and the Spiritualists

1903

The late lamented Sappho, the Greek poetess, has been writing more poems and communicating them to the world through a spiritualistic medium. We regret to note a distinct loss in style in the last 2,000 years, and, judging from other facts in her history we fear that her place in the Elysian Fields is not an entirely desirable one. — Philadelphia Inquirer.
