Catullus

Summary

Portrait of Catullus Catullus,  Catullus 51

“ But my tongue is stiff, a delicate flame runs
under my limbs, my ears ring
with their own sound, my twin eyes are covered
with darkness.
Leisure, Catullus, is trouble for you:
In leisure you become overjoyed and too passionate:
Leisure has destroyed kings before
And blessed cities.
