#sulpicia

[carmenesterror]

a translation of sulpicia i, with the challenge to only use monosyllabic words

He has come at last that love of mine; a love

that I would wish to flaut, not to hide— damn the rest.

I call Love with a thought; Love calls my boy to me,

and drops him in my lap, mine to have and to hold.

She takes care of her kin. All you who have no love

I can give you this gift: go out and speak of mine!

I would not have my notes of joy hid in shame, that

none might read them 'fore him, what a bore that sounds like!

Vice thrills, sin sweet and soft. I have no stake in games

of fame, yet less of blame. We are on par in love.

[majestativa]

I'm grateful, really grateful for the favour you've just done me. You’ve saved me from being a fool and rushing into your arms.

Sulpicia vs. Terence

Sulpicia

Terence

Voting ended onApr 30, 2024

Propaganda under the cut!

Sulpicia Propaganda:

Sulpicia does more in 40 lines than most poets do in thousands

If you don't vote for the only female poet of whom we have any significant chunks, you're sexist. I don't make the rules

She is so fucking funny, you guys. I laugh out loud every time I read her

Terence Propaganda

Terence's Latin is really conversational and pleasant, giving a really cool look into everyday speech

He was a really important school author for centuries, up there with Vergil and Cicero

Surprisingly influential on Christian writing, including Augustine, Hrosvitha, and Erasmus, which is a testament to his style and his discussions of human behavior

SULPICIA DEI VOLTURI

[therealvinelle]

I would die if SM wrote a “confessions of atrophy wife” book about the volturi women

I'm imagining a lot of "The cactus I've been watching for 75 years finally bloomed. It's a very nice cactus, I like cactuses and Corin. Aro tried talking to me about something important but I was distracted by the cactus."

(I say that, but sadly Meyer's actual attempt to write the confessions of atrophy wife would be preachy and involve a lot of "And that's why killing Didyme... is bad actually". I don't want that, I want cactus.)
