Directly when I see you, nothing is left from the voice in my mouth, but my tongue is paralyzed, in my limbs flows a delicate flame, By their own sound sing my ears, my eyes are being covered by a double night.

Catullus

Let us live, my Lesbia, and let us love, and let us reckon all the murmurs of more censorious old men as worth one farthing. Suns can set and come again: for us, when once our brief light has set, one everlasting night is to be slept.

Catullus

Let us live and love, my Lesbia, and value at a penny all the talk of crabbed old men. Suns may set and rise again: for us, when our brief light has set, there's the sleep of perpetual night. Give me a thousand kisses.
