【Cyprian, in My Dream】

Sappho (c. 630 – c. 570 BCE)

                Cyprian, in my dream

                the folds of a purple

                kerchief shadowed

                your cheeks --- the one

                Timas one time sent,

                a timid gift, all

                the way from Phocaea

—— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • ——

【《梦中的塞浦路斯》】

萨福(约公元前630生—570卒)

                梦中的塞浦路斯，

                紫色头巾的褶皱

                遮住你的

                双颊——

                提马斯曾派人

                从福西亚送来的

                一个羞怯的礼物

【注】1309至1523年，耶路撒冷“和平”的圣约翰“神慈”骑士团占领了希腊罗德岛“林中空地”，并开始将其建成要塞；随后，这里又相继受到土耳其人和意大利人的统治。大教长宫凸显以球形塔楼和拱形大门为特色的哥特式建筑。 

1988年，罗得中世纪古城被联合国教科文组织纳入《世界遗产名录》。
