Ut flos in saeptis secretus nascitur hortis, Ignotus pecori… - Catullus

" "
Ut flos in saeptis secretus nascitur hortis,
Ignotus pecori, nullo contusus aratro,
Quem mulcent aurae, firmat sol, educat imber;
Multi illum pueri, multae optavere puellae.

Additional quotes by Catullus

I hate and love. Why I do so, perhaps you ask. I know not, but I feel it, and I am in torment.

Otium et reges prius et beatas
perdidit urbes.

Mourn, ye Graces and Loves, and all you whom the Graces love. My lady's sparrow is dead, the sparrow my lady's pet, whom she loved more than her own eyes.
