Understanding Catullus's Poems

Understanding Catullus's Poems Many of Catullus's poems expressed Catullus's love for his beloved Lesbia. In the first poem he is relishing her kisses and declaring the eternity of their love. The three later poems show him sadder and he accurse Lesbia of unfaithfulness yet still confesses his love for her. Catullus's Poems are universal in time and are relevant to any time period.

It's a shame that her faithfulness isn't as strong as Catullus's isn't.
