About Propertius

Sextus Propertius (50 BC – 16 BC) was a Roman elegiac poet in Maecenas' circle.

Alternative Names: Sextus Propertius • Sextus Aurelius Propertius

Originators like Propertius:

Nudus Amor formam non amat artificem.

There is something beyond the grave; death does not end all, and the pale ghost escapes from the vanquished pyre.

Whoever he was who first depicted Amor as a boy, don’t you think it was a wonderful touch? He was the first to see that lovers live without sense.
