A Comparative Study of Li Qingzhao's and Sappho's Life Experiences

摘要

The paper recollects Li Qingzhao's and Sappho's life experiences with a glimpse of their footprints on the way to happiness and true love. The persistent pursuit of true love and unceasing search for a happy life constitute the most important content of the two poets' lives, which also becomes the soul of their works. Although Li Qingzhao's whole life was full of frustrations and Sappho's relatively smooth, they both kept equally persistent faith in a meaningful and happy life.
