Catullus

Catullus

Summary

Portrait of Catullus Catullus,  Catullus 72

“ I loved you not so much as the common man does his girlfriend,
but as a father loves his children and sons-in-law.
Now I have known you: therefore, though I am burnt more fiercely,
you are cheaper and of less meaning to me.
How is this so, you ask? Because such an injury drives a lover
to love more often, but to be less friendly.
