  7. “Catullus Invites His Friend to Dinner”

    Come join me, friend. Come be my guest!
    Enjoy the finest and the best
    Of gourmet food, of wit and wine
    And lovely ladies. Come to dine:
    I’ll crack a bottle – oil of rose –
    To make you wish you were a nose.
    You bring the rest… For I can’t brag
    Of more than cobwebs in my moneybag.

  10. @Derqui Just wondering the #catullus influenced the IE dictionary definition…?

  11. @Derqui #Catullus poem 11 describes a distant beach, beaten by the wave - tunditur undā. Here the tunditur means ‘is beaten’, but from what you say might have ‘wave’ as its source. Fascinating.

  12. On this day that's unparalleled at reminding me that I don't fit in, I reached for a new-to-me #translation of #Catullus, & am laughing out loud and loving Frank O. Copley's mid-20th-century English version of this #poet who may have been the original #Beat. Never in my life have I wanted so much to give a live #reading. From 13:
    "I got a perfume see
    it was a gift to HER
    straight from VENUS and CUPID LTD.
    when you get a whiff of that you'll pray the gods
    to make you... ALL NOSE"
