I hated history in school, perhaps, or so I like to think nowadays, because what we were taught was largely false.

I am intrigued by the times depicted in Arthurian tales. And of the Roman empire. I just yesterday fell for a poem by Catallus of the late Roman empire

Now spring unlocks!
Now the equinox stops its blue rages quiet as pages.
I tell you, Catallus, leave Troy, leave the ground burning,
they did.
Look, we will change everything, all the meanings,
all the clear cities of Asia you and me.
Now the mind, isn't she an avid previous hobo?
Now the feet grow leaves so glad to see whose green baits
awaits.
Oh sweet don't go back the same way
go a new way.

I would love to be able to read poetry from that time in the original Latin
