Catullus on Death
← Back to Catullus Profile
“Qui nunc it per iter tenebricosum Illuc unde negant redire quemquam.
Who now travels that dark path from whose bourne they say no one returns.”
“Soles occidere et redire possunt; Nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux, Nox est perpetua una dormienda.
Suns may set and rise; we, when our short day has closed, must sleep on during one neverending night.”
