HORACE VS. CATULLUS
"Horace is my idea of a characteristically obscene man. An immoderate liking for his poems is, I believe, a sure proof of obscenity in a person. Catullus, on the other hand, was not obscene: he had greater self-respect."
"I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme." -- Henry James
