Excerpt: ... types of the more civilised Parisian coeottes. I use the word designedly, for there is little doubt that the widow Sappho was another Lai's, whose disgraceful proceedings at Mitylene cause her to fly the vengeance of her female compatriots, and aroused the envy of those of her sex who were less successful. "Mascula Lesbiacis Sappho feritura sagittis." Whatever may have been her successes, however, this fair Grecian poetess--another Marguerite--appears to have paid dearly for her love for the Faust of antiquity, Phaon, the ugly old boatman who carried Venus gratis on one occasion, and was made young and flighty in return for his former disinterestedness. The leap from Leucadia's rock appears an ugly one, though it is said that all the disappointed Greek lovers who threw themselves into the raging sea beneath did not always meet with the tragical end they were in search of. But whatever respect is due to the conscientious relation by Strabo of the popular traditions handed down to his time, it requires a certain amount of benevolent weakness to accept as a fact the dodge he supposes many distracted lovers to have had recourse to. It would not be possible nowadays to tie birds and feathers to one's arms in order to escape the death which awaits an energetic leap, by even a mad confidence in the power of such feathers to check a downward course. Yet Strabo says that many men escaped a watery grave in this wise, and adds that females had too slight a frame to bear the shock on falling. Thus, a heavy body falling on a pointed rock had less chance of being crushed to atoms than a slender one! A remarkable doctrine, which is admirably completed by the information that salt water is a great cure for love-sickness. Towards midnight we passed between Cephalonia and ...
