Her breasts and her dark hair were perfume
and even an old man would desire her.

Additional quotes by Archilochus

This wheatless island stands like a donkey's back.
It bristles with a tangle of wild woodland.
Oh,
there is no country so beautiful,
no sensual earth that keys my passion
as these plains around the river Siris.
