CATULLUS POEM 5,
An Adaptation of an Ancient Roman Love Lyric


I am here to repeat ancient wisdom:

What do we care what the joyless say?
They should get lost, all of them!

Once our tiny, brief light is pinched out,
There be no night, like that everlasting night,
When earth, it replaces heaven.

So lets kiss, and lets kiss again.
Lets kiss a thousand times, and, then,
Lets do it all over again, those kisses.

How many? How many? How many?
How many, you say?

Lets not number our kisses.
There are people with evil eyes,
Workers of black magic,
Who would wish to bewitch us.

They should not know how many.

Stanley,

I would like to apologize for my absence. I have been adjusting to a new life style that is very busy. I am working and attending college, and have been oh so inspired by such a great person. I have published a poem now officially in a book. I hope to be making poetry books so over soon. I would like to say, thanks for being a true friend. I look forward to future videos, keep them coming.

Yours, Cody.

@udieWhenever I fall behind on my commentary, I find a great note from you. Thanks for your work and effort on my behalf; I am glad you enjoy the verse.

I have been writing, writing and writing and then reediting and going through the journals, work , work, work, and any number of poems you had not heard before and some, lots of rework of ones you had previously enjoyed

alot81 I wrote the following note to you at least one year ago. But its sentiments hold true today.
