“Raise high the roof beam, carpenters. Like Ares comes the bridegroom, taller far than a tall man.”
Sappho.
I'm pretty certain Sappho wasn't talking about physical height, more about a large spirit. I first came across this quotation as the title of a J.D. Salinger story, I think he took it the same way.
