"Eros shook my mind
 like a mountain wind falling on oak trees"
  -- Sappho (b. circa 630 BCE, d. circa 570 BCE), via [twitter.com profile] sapphobot, which (mostly?) uses translations by Anne Carson

It's [twitter.com profile] sapphobot at Twitter, and yes, if you want to have a daily dose of Sappho as translated by Anne Carson, you want to follow it.

(I'm not proud to say I had to lookup how you link to external sites from Dreamwidth.)

Argh. Twitter @ names used to pass through unmodified, but then DW made them a shorthand for <user> (not unreasonably) ... eventually I noticed, and rewrote my QotD script so that it's supposed to catch those and change @​sapphobot (for example) to @​sapphobot.twitter, which in turn seems to be a shorthand for <user="sapphobot" site="twitter"> as illustrated above ... but for some reason my script is inconsistent about pattern-matching '@'. *grumble* I'll get it working right eventually.

Trying the '@​sapphobot.twitter' syntax here to make sure ... [twitter.com profile] sapphobot

Anyhow, short version: my bad. Sorry.
