actually I love how catullus’ romantic poems creep into friendship language and friendship poems creep into romantic language, and he writes different types of loves as all bleeding into each other

#when i read his poetry i was really struck by #how he puts his love for clodia on a par with amicitia #and the depth of affection in his treatment of his friends #different types of love all bleeding into one another #is a really great way to put it #catullus #roman love elegy is infinitely fascinating #ancient rome #classics
