Quotes of the Day: “Carried over many seas, and through many nations, brother, I come to these sad funeral rites, to grant you the last gifts to the dead, and speak in vain to your mute ashes. Seeing that fate has stolen from me your very self. Ah alas, my brother, taken shamefully from me, yet, by the ancient custom of our parents, receive these sad gifts, offerings to the dead, soaked deeply with a brother’s tears, and for eternity, brother: ‘Hail and Farewell!” - Catullus 101 “I’m not surprised as to why no girl desires to place her gentle thighs beneath you, Rufus, not if you were to weaken her with gifts of rarest dresses, the delights of clearest gems. A certain evil story wounds you: that they tell about you: that you’ve a wild goat under the armpits. Everyone hates that, no wonder: since it’s a truly evil-smelling beast, not one that girls bed with. So either kill the cruel plague to their noses, or cease to wonder why they run away.” - Catullus 69 -------------------------------
