Odi et amo...

I HATE and I LOVE.
Perhaps you'll ask why?
I don't know.
But I feel IT happening, and IT's crucifying me...
CATULLUS poem 85

I HATE and LOVE,
wouldst thou the reason know?
I know not, but I burn and feel IT so...
RICHARD LOVELACE (1618 - 1657)
English poet (translation of the same poem, from 1659)

I LOVE and I HATE. Ah! Never ask why so!
I HATE and I LOVE - And that is all I know.
I see 'tis folly, but I feel 'tis woe.
WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR(1775 - 1864)
English writer (translation also of the poem above, from 1842)
