Another thousand, then a second hundred, then yet
Another ..

Yes, yes, melancholy poem about infinity, okay, but can I get some more #Seneca or #Catullus up in here? Or maybe even some #Martial?

I am reading War and Peace and it is echoing oddly with this strange compelling anti-epic Catullus wrote, number 64 of his poems, which I've called "History, as one betrayal after another"

Hot off the griddle: Catullus 17 is a strange, rambling number addressed to a town with a bridge that turns to some invective about a mistress's cuckold husband. #catullus #latinliterature #romanpoetry #translation

"et dis inuitis desinis esse miser"
Catullus, Poem 86, I:12
For heaven's sake get over yourself.
(Literally shrug off the misery that the gods hate.)
When heartbroken pals need tough love...

“minister vetuli puer Falerni
inger mi calices amariores,
ut lex Postumiae iubet magistrae,
ebrioso acino ebriosioris.
at vos quo lubet hinc abite, lymphae,
vini pernicies, et ad severos
migrate: hic merus est Thyonianus.”
