Catullus 16
Suck my dick, Aurelius, you fag.
Bend over, Furius, I've got something
here for you. So! You think I'm impure
and what's your evidence? My poetry
A little "soft" you say? Too "pretty" for you?
A poet's life and person should be chaste,
inviolate but in his poetry
what counts is charm, and lively stimulation;
impure thoughts, in verse that's slightly soft,
can get a person going: not just boys
with their hair-trigger hard-ons even geezers bristled and arthritic, cocks as stiff as wet cement, and just as agile. Now: when you read phrases like "a thousand kisses" you think that means the poet is unmanly? Suck my dick. Bend over, Furius.
XVI: ad Aurelium et Furium
pedicabo ego uos et irrumabo, Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi, qui me ex uersiculis meis putastis, quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum. nam castum esse decet pium poetam ipsum, uersiculos nihil necesse est; qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem, si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici, et quod pruriat incitare possunt

Catullus, Poem 64
The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis
(At the bottom of this file you will find a glossary of mythological terms , and in a separate file there is an introduction to this poem
Pines, progeny of Mount Pelion's summit,
once swam, it's said, through Neptune's clear waves
to the breakers of Phasis , to King ' borders,
when the chosen Argonauts , oaks of Argive youth,
yearning to carry from Colchis the Golden Fleece,
dared run salt swells in a swift ship,
churned azure billows with firm oar blades.
Athena , divine, who sustains their high citadels,
herself made that chariot fly with light breeze,
weaving pine fabric to curved keel.
This ship's voyage left first mark on naive
No sooner did it split the windy tide with its prow,
whiten with froth the waves roiled by its oarage,
than faces emerged from the ocean's white eddy
Nereids , the sea-nymphs, wondering at the marvel.
On that dawn, if ever, mortal eyes saw them:
the ocean goddesses, bare-bodied,
rising breast-high from the gray-white eddy.
Then was Peleus , they say, inflamed with love for Thetis
then did Thetis not scorn to wed a human

It approaches the latter in size. Galloways yield superior beef, but mature less rapidly than the Aberdeen-Angus. They make admirable beasts for the grazier, and the cross between the Galloway and the white Shorthorn bull, known as a Blue Grey, is much sought after by the grazier and the butche~r. The West Highland or Kyloe breed are perhaps the most hardy and picturesque of British cattle. Their home is amidst the wild romantic scenery of the Highlands and the Western Isles of Scotland, though Highland bllocks with long, spreading curved horns may be seen in English parks. They have not made much progress towards early maturity, but their slowly ripened beef is of the choicest quality. The color of their thick shaggy hair varies from white and light dun to tawny yellow of many shades, and black. The A yrshires are the dairy breed of Scotland, where they have considerably overstepped the limits of the humid western county whence they take their name. They are usually of a white and brown color, the patches being well defined. The neat, shapely, upstanding horns are characteristic. The Ayrshires are under medium size and move gracefully, and the females display the wedge-shape typical of dairy cows. They, are a hardy breed, and, even from poor pastures, give good yields Of milk, especially useful for cheese-making purposes. The milking powers of the breed are being improved under a system of milk-testing and records supported by the Highland and Agricultural Society.

Famous Romans Catullus (84 BC-54 BC) Famous Romans Index Quintus Valerius Catullus was born around 84 BC. We know for a fact that his cognomen was Catullus. Several biographers have suggested the nomen to be Valerius. Of his praenomen, less is known. Many think it to have been Quintus but biographers Jerome and Apulius suggest it to have been Gaius. His family resided in Verona, a city in northern Italy, and belonged to the upper middle class. We know from the historian Suetonius that Julius Caesar once visited Catullus's father. However, with the exception of his brother, Catullus makes no reference to his family. In 62 BC, Catullus moved to Rome to seek fame and fortune. There is no reference to employment except for a short term of service with the military, so we assume his family had wealth and provided him with financial support. In Rome, Catullus associated himself with a small, high-class group of poets. Catullus and his associates came to be known as the Novi Poetae , the new poets. The Novi Poetae rebelled against their ancestors in life and in poetry. In life, the

GAIUS VALERIUS catullus (Kr. Az o kortársuk volt catullus. A család az északitáliaiVerona elokeloségeihez tartozott, ott született a költo is.
http://www.literatura.hu/irok/okor/catullus.htm
GAIUS VALERIUS CATULLUS (Kr. e. 87-57) A nagyon nagy lírai költõknek nem kell hosszú életet élni, hogy halhatatlan életmûveket hozzanak létre. Lermontov Shelley Petõfi húszas éveikben már befejezték földi életüket. Sorolhatnók még tovább a feledhetetlenek nevét. Ezt a lelkesítõ s egyben gyászos névsort alighanem Catullusszal kellene kezdeni. Az eléggé bizonytalan ókori híradás szerint mindössze 30 évet élt. Az egy nemzedékkel késõbbi Ovidius már úgy emlékszik rá, hogy „ifjú homlokán borostyánkoszorúval halt meg". A „római aranykor" örök példákat adó költészete Augustus császár évtizedeiben virágzott. De már az ezt megelõzõ korszakban, Julius Caesar hatalmának idején is olyan irodalmi elõkészítése volt a legklasszikusabb latin költészetnek és prózairodalomnak, hogy nem tévedtek azok, akik innét keltezték az aranykort. Hiszen ekkor állt a kultúra középpontjában Cicero , ekkor élt és írt Lucretius , ekkor fokozta mûvészetté a konyhai tevékenységet Lucullus. Az õ kortársuk volt Catullus. Ami a költõi életmûben fennmaradt, körülbelül annyit tudhatunk viharos-szenvedélyes életérõl. De ehhez az is tudnivaló, hogy a politikai élet iránti ellenszenve néha abban is megnyilvánult, hogy mérges, gúnyolódó, szitkozódó verseket írt Julius Caesarról. És Caesart is jól jellemzi, hogy egyszerûen csak nevetett barátja fiának a szabadszájúságán, afféle ifjonti lázongásnak tartotta, s az apával szívélyes viszonyt tartott fenn mindvégig.

A Note on This Edition of Catullus: Although most (if not all) critical editions as well as translations do not divide Catullus’ oeuvre into three books, ingenious research has indicated that in anqituity Catullus circulated in three papyrus rolls. Such a division most likely followed Catullus' own original intention. I, therefore, have merely followed the communis opinio in my division of Catullus. Just as in anquitity practical limitations necessitated the threefold division, this modern e-text benefits equally as well from it.

Reviews
"Martin's book, funny, moving, smart, alive to twentieth-century poetic developments, is now the best book on Catullus in English. It constitutes another fine entry in Yale's Hermes series, which, with urgent timeliness, strives to put before sophisticated general readers humane but critically focused discourse on the great Greco-Roman writers."Donald Lyons, New Criterion "Charles Martin's handsome book seeks to emphasize the modernity of Catullus's poetry and examines the relationships of individual poems to each other. . . . Here Martin is at his best, writing with vigour and enthusiasm. . . . He illustrates his points, as he does throughout, with his own competent and conscientious translations. . . . This is a rare achievement."Elspeth Barker, London Review of Books "[This book] will certainly enrich everyone's reading of the poems. . . . [It] should send the reader back to Catullus with a fresh eye, to the Latin if he can handle it, but if not, to Martin's own superb translation, which provides the English-speaking reader with an equivalent of the spontaneity and artifice of the original."Bernard Knox, New York Review of Books "[A] stunning introduction to Catullus. . . . His work is particularly valuable for its critically objective attention to Catullus's scatology. Readers seeking an initiation into Catullus's poetry will learn very much here; and readers familiar with the poetry will find here new ways to read it. . . . As a contribution to the literature on Catullus, [it] is indispensable."Roy Arthur Swanson

    I was from Italy, and I lived from 84-54. Print or Buy my poetry? View comments Add to favorites? My influences included Callimachus and other Alexandrine and earlier Greek poets. The poems of Catullus might have suffered the same fate as those of Archilochos and Sappho but for a single manuscript which made its way to Verona, the poet's home town, early in the 14th century. Since Catullus is generally thought to have lived between 84 and 54 B. C. E., this manuscript was a copy of a copy of a copy... going back for some 1400 yearsthough nothing is known about those earlier manuscripts. In fact, the text of Catullus that we use today, while it derives ultimately from this single manuscript, is based on copies, and on copies of copies, of that one, since the manuscript itself is long gone.
    If Archilochos is the first lyric poet in the West, the poet who invented the "I," as it were, Catullus is the first poet we know enough about to construct a sense of who he is from the poems themselves. In fact, everything we know about him is created in his poems. Without them we know next to nothing.
