Translation Trashbin - 49. one jacket
.
Sweet is a summer draft of snow
to he who thirsts in heat,
and sweet the West Wind of spring
for sailors biding a winter's storm.
But the sweetest of all
Is when one jacket covers
two partners,
for then Aphrodite’s honors
rest on the shoulders of both.
—Asclepiades of Samos, [i]
circa 270 BC
[i] “Sweet is a summer draft” Asclepiades of Samos, Greek Anthology 5.169
