No one knows Catullus' Carmina 101? Don't be so sure, my friend - that one is great. I'm also a huge fan of Catullus 85 - I've used it to describe my feelings towards Cleveland sports, which perhaps doesn't really do it justice, but as a largely non-romantic individual, it's about as close as I'll get.

Odi et amo. Quare id faciam fortasse requiris.
Nescio. Sed fieri sentio. Et... excrucior. God I love this poem. It defines the human nature perfectly. I love and I hate. You may ask why I do this.
I do not know. But I feel it to be done. And I am tormented Even if relating to something seemingly simple, if it speaks to you all the way from the first century BC, then that is a feat worthy of note. I love that Catullus is still loved.
