Catullus 85
 Catullus 85 is a poem by the Roman poet Catullus for his mistress Lesbia. Odi et amo. quare id faciam fortasse requiris? nescio sed fieri sentio et excrucior. I hate and I love. Perhaps you ask why I do this?I do not know but I feel it happen and I am torn apart. Its declaration of conflicting feelings I hate and I love (in Latin Odi et amo) is renowned for its force and brevity.
