1. M. C. Howatson, ed., The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature (Oxford, 1990), pages 506-507.

2. All quotations from Sappho are from Mary Barnard’s Sappho: A New Translation (Univ. of California Press, 1966).

3. Whitman’s phrase. A most suggestive reading about Lincoln’s relations with Joshua Speed is in Charley Shively’s Drum Beats (Gay Sunshine Press, 1989). And note Shively’s caveat: “The romantic cult of male friendship may have sometimes been completely non-sexual, but it provided a convenient form in which homosexual men could conceptualize their feelings for other men.” (Drum Beats, page 88)

4. From Coleridge’s prefatory note to the poem. See I. A. Richards, ed., The Portable Coleridge (New York: Penguin, 1977), page 76.
