My comments haven't come up yet, but I will make a small note here that I have commented on the Beautiful Poetry of CATULLUS. I used to read him, I love to read CATULLUS when I was still studying the English Language-and-Literature. And it seems that I can still enjoy this Special Poem of him by him. I oft write poems to the self, easiest: no men would become angry nor offended. Ha! Magnificent poetry by CATULLUS, my fav. orator.

WOW! A poem of THE Catullus, how impressing! L love to read CATULLUS when I was still studying, What is better than to give advice to the self? Wonderful poetry. A TEN for Catullus.

Quite a sage piece. I'm always a bit put off my third person references to the self, glad to see that confirmed in the latin Farinelli posted below. It comes off okay here, part of a stern talking to to the self. Seeing the Latin below, and this obviously meaningful translation I yearn to have Louis Zukofsky's translation as yet another point of reference. From ancient to modernist. If anyone has access to it please post it, I think it would be greatly informative.

This was written sometime between 84-54 BC- - -some things never change, do they? People break their hearts and will turn around and break their hearts again. Amazing how the language doesn't seem stilted or awkward- -must be a good interpreter.
