A very beautiful poem Catullus wrote, but with such a saddest ending: for her, when she came from a foreign sea here, as far as this limpid lake. But that’s past: now hidden away here she ages quietly and offers herself to you, Castor and his brother, heavenly Twins. True Beauty this Catullus poem.

Such a wonderful description of how something inanimate became a living entity 'she ages quietly and offers herself to you'
