Which watch not one another out of fear;
For love all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere."

Interesting photos of some really fascinating texts....

The one in fragments is a poem found from the poet, Sappho, a Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Her poetry is mostly quoted in other ancient Greek authors, but is still vastly important to the history of female authors, and to poetry in general.
The second document is a letter of Rene Descartes, originally stolen from France, and found this past week at Haverford College in Pennsylvania. The head of the college is returning it to France. Sometimes the true thoughts of an author may lie in their letters...
