  The Poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus/5 - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
< The Poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus(Redirected from Transwiki:Catullus 5)
This is a reference to the gossip going around the Senate, as it was believed that Catullus was having an affair with a senator's wife, known as Clodia.
Catullus is urging Clodia to disregard what people are saying about them, so she can spend more time with him.

  Catullus, U. of Saskatchewan
Catullus does not seem to be indignant at any illegal activity on the part of these governors, however, but rather at the fact that neither he nor his friends were able to profit from their service as part of these governors' cohorts.
Catullus thus represents a social as well as a literary phenomenon, providing us with a glimpse of the life and concerns of a wealthy and talented member of the equestrian class in the midst of the turmoil of the Late Republic.
In this sense Catullus' poetry serves as a useful corrective to the gloomy picture conveyed by the violent and chaotic politics of this period: it is clear that, despite the uncertainties of the times, for many people life went along its usual course.

Gaius Valerius Catullus was born at Verona in Cisalpine Gaul.
The second date cannot be true: that Catullus was alive in 55 is proved by his references to Pompey's second consulship (113.2), to the Porticus Pompeii (55.6), and to Caesar's invasion of Britain (11.12, 29.4), but he makes no references to any event after 55.
Catullus' last message to her (11) was probably written in 55 or 54.

Though he is indeed a cynic, Catullus seems to express in general a love of life and an eagerness to experience it.
Catullus wants to experience and enjoy life to the fullest and this huge number of kisses represents a lifetime of loving.
The joke is that Catullus, who has just uttered an outpouring of honest emotion, finishes off with an attempt to bargain with Lesbia like a shrewd salesman, appealing to her logic yet intending to satisfy his own desire.

 Gaius Valerius Catullus Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Catullus belonged to a circle of neoteroi, or "new poets," who used as their models the learned Greek poet-scholars at Alexandria in the Hellenistic period and wrote elegant, allusive, and highly finished poems on love, mythology, and other topics.
Catullus could be witty and charming, as in poem 13, an "invitation" to one Fabullus to dine with him--but he must bring his own dinner, for the poet's wallet is full of cobwebs.
Catullus could be witty and obscene, as in poem 39, on a certain Egnatius, who continually grins, whether appropriately or inappropriately, in order to show off his brilliant white teeth.

Catullus went to Rome early in life and spent most of his time there, with the exception of his service on the staff of C. Memmius, governor of Bithynia in 57/6 BCE.
Given Catullus’ precise and Callimachean nature, it is unlikely that he would have created such an imbalance in the number of lines performed by each group.

Catullus' erotic verse provides the earliest near-complete body of extant Western lyric poetry, a fascinating document of late Roman Republican life, and of the life, love(s) and hates of its author, Gaius Valerius Catullus.
Firstly, there should be a shift away from regarding Catullus as a unitary person / persona to recognising him as a radically divided subject capable of presenting both 'feminine' and 'masculine' knowledge in his hermeneutic suspicion of the contemporary patriarchal discourse.
But the paradox 'I am lying' (as explicitly treated by Catullus in poems 70, 83, 85 and 92) reminds us that language divides the speaking subject from the subject of the speech, while the desire to know the enigmatic desire of Woman is bound to end in frustration.

 Catullus (1969)
Catullus (84-54 BC) interested LZ early on: several translations are included in TP and he previously translated #8 in 1939 in typical colloquial modernist style (CSP 88-89).
There are also various Catullus references in “4 Other Countries” related to the Zukofskys’ European tour in the summer of 1957, which included visits to Verona, Catullus’ hometown, and Sirmio on Lake Garda where he had a villa (CSP 195).
Although EP translated very little of Catullus, he always considered him one of the supreme lyric poets, and scattered references to him and to Sirmio appear throughout the Cantos, especially the Pisan Cantos.

 Catullus, 1-14
Although I agree with Skinner that the scorta in Catullus' polymetrics are generally present as a foil to the image of lepida Lesbia, this particular scortillum causes a small chink to appear in the speaker's armor of elegant charm.
Their message is a discordant recollection of the days when bright suns shone and Catullus proclaimed, "vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus." Here the words, "cum suis vivat valeatque moechis" transfer the beloved Lesbia of poem 5 to the sordid inelegant world of the scorta.
In this literary world of love and charm, the psychology of the young, revolutionary types is expressed in the psychology of their literary, social, and love endeavors, all of which at times share vocabulary and coexist in parallel lines of meaning for the same piece.

The idea of translating Catullus in the original metres adopted by the poet himself was suggested to me many years ago by the admirable, though, in England, insufficiently known, version of Theodor Heyse (Berlin, 1855).
5 Least, you keep not a lonely night of anguish; Quite too clamorous is that idly-feigning Couch, with wreaths, with a Syrian odour oozing; Then that pillow alike at either utmost Verge deep-dinted asunder, all the trembling 10 Play, the strenuous unsophistication; All, O prodigal, all alike betray thee.
Then did a chosen array, rare bloom of valorous Argos, Fain from Colchian earth her fleece of glory to ravish, 5 Dare with a keel of swiftness adown salt seas to be fleeting, Swept with fir-blades oary the fair level azure of Ocean.

 The Modern Student's Guide to Catullus
If so, this is an example of concrete poetry, and I wondered how long this had gone unnoticed, whether it got by Catullus’ own circle of friends, or if I was the only one to stare it in the face so long without seeing it.
Suddenly I felt awfully close to Catullus, and had to turn to make sure he wasn’t here, somewhere, in the room laughing at me. There is even a sort of pun on the meter.
This meant that not only could Catullus’ phaselus get its master home much faster than, say, Odysseus’ boat (which never made it home), but it eliminated the need for such lengthy and weighty things as epics in the first place.

 Catullus 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catullus 1 is traditionally arranged first among the poems of the Roman poet Catullus, though it was not necessarily the first poem that he wrote.
It is dedicated to Cornelius Nepos, a historian and minor poet, though some consider Catullus' praise of Cornelius' history of the Italians to have been sarcastic.
This understatement is likely deliberate; Catullus knows very well the quality of his poetry, and also the provocative form it has.

Catullus uses this meter in poems 11 and 51, which appear to be among the last and first ones that he writes about her.
When Catullus uses the meter seven times, he uses it against himself in 8, against Suffenus in 22, Egnatius in 39, Sestius in 44, Rufa in 59, Lesbia in 60, and once just as an expression of joy in 31.
Catullus uses the meter in only 62 and 64, but this style of line is also the beginning of every elegaic couplet which includes Ovid's Amores and Catullus 65-116.

Catullus' sympathetic, sensitive treatment of his mistress's grief is the core of the poem.
On the other hand, perhaps Catullus means that his mistress, an extremely beautiful woman, like a goddess, emits a special fragrance, or aura, and this will be the source of the promised perfume.

 Jennings: Horace and Catullus along with the English Literature Classroom:  An Expansion
As our students begin their study of Catullus and Horace, they often are beginning a survey course of British literature.
However, there continues to be a greater opportunity for students to expand their understanding of Catullus and Horace through comparison and poetic analysis.
As illustration, I provide five separate encounters as students react to the analyses of separate poems: two encounters with Horace (Odes 1.23 and 3.30) and three encounters with Catullus (Catullus 7, 70 and 72, and 85).

Other decisions I have made when translating Catullus adhere, again, to Kinnell's approach as when he says, “Translation is a possible art and a necessary one, and I think that we do really want to know, insofar as it's possible, what Dante and others in the past thought and felt.
