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.

Well, I admittedly don't know Carmina, but anyone who plugs Annabel Lee as their favorite Poe poem is OK by me.
