The possibility of this poet “walk[ing] that way!” concludes Yeats’s acerbic poem “The Scholars.” Louis and Celia Zukofsky controversially created a homophonic translation of this author. In a poem, this poet uses “the stars in the tacit night” and “the sandgrains in the desert” to measure affection from a lover. This author, who wrote an elegy that inspired Anne Carson’s book (15[1])Nox, wrote a poem asking his lover to value the gossip of old men at a single penny. (15[1])The speaker of one poem by this author asks his lover, (*) “Give me a thousand kisses, (-5[1])then a hundred.” This poet cries to “let us live, and let us love” in the fifth of his 116 carmina, which is dedicated to the owner of an eroticized pet sparrow, and mourned his brother in the poem “Hail and Farewell.” For 10 points, name this Roman poet who addressed his married lover Lesbia. ■END■ (10[1])
