From Emerson's Memorial to Margaret Fuller:
"Her friendships, as a girl with girls, as a woman with women, were not unmingled with passion, and had passages of romantic sacrifice and of ecstatic fusion, which I have heard with the ear, but could not trust my profane pen to report."
Sounds like someone appreciated Sappho for more than just her literary qualities ;-)
