May Third

MY WOMAN says that she would rather wear the wedding veil for me
than anyone: even if Jupiter himself came storming after her;
that's what she says, but when a woman talks to a hungry,
ravenous lover, her words should be written upon the wind
and engraved in rapid waters. -- Catullus, 84? - 54? B.C.

  1. Well! I am quite sure Jupiter himself DID come storming after some of those brides... what a lovely photo to go along with the alleged writ in water words of the ladies in question.
