IS THIS SAPPHO? IS THIS LEGIT?

SAPPHO OH MY GOD (though I prefer the Anne Carson translation):

for when I look at you, even a moment, no speaking

    is left in me

no: tongue breaks and thin

fire is racing under skin

and in eyes no sight and drumming

    fills ears

and cold sweat holds me and shaking

grips me all, greener than grass

I am and dead - or almost

    I seem to me.

(and I think it’s legit - the mouth movements match!)
