 Yes, there are a surprising number
of Cloudias
in the world today.





Strangely, 
many of them did seem to speak
directly to me:






Ah! what fun to be a simple
Cloudia. . .






Only fair, I suppose, 
to close with a picture of myself
creating 
Comfort Spiral
JUST for YOU-










No wait;
Here I am -








Thank YOU 
for making all of this nonsense
worthwhile!

Funny Comment?  PLEASE !
Fondly, 'me'































Catullus lived from around 84 to 54 AD.

He wrote a number of love poems to Clodia, giving her the pseudonym, Lesbia. Below is my paraphrase of a very famous one, (a very loose translation, mostly because the original doesn't mention water).
V - Vivamus, mea Lesbia


 Come let us live and let us love                                               
Beside the ev'ning shore.
And all the grumblings of old sots
We'll patiently ignore.
 The sun has set, and soon returns
- Our lives should be so long.


 Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus,
rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis!
soles occidere et redire possunt:
nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.
