Catullan Provocations: Lyric Poetry and the Drama of PositionUniversity of California Press, 28. apr. 2023 - 319 sider Restoring to Catullus a provocative power that familiarity has tended to dim, this book argues that Catullus challenges us to think about the nature of lyric in new ways. Fitzgerald shows how Catullus's poetry reflects the conditions of its own consumption as it explores the terms and possibilities of the poet's license. Reading the poetry in relation to the drama of position played out between poet, poem, and reader, the author produces a fresh interpretation of almost all of Catullus's oeuvre. Running through the book is an analysis of the ideological stakes behind the construction of the author Catullus in twentieth-century scholarship and of the agenda governing the interpreter's position in relation to Catullus. |

Side 3 - This living hand, now warm and capable Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold And in the icy silence of the tomb, So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights That thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood So in my veins red life might stream again And thou be conscience-calm'd — See here it is — I hold it towards you.
Side 110 - Hesterno, Licini, die otiosi Multum lusimus in meis tabellis, Ut convenerat esse delicatos. Scribens versiculos uterque nostrum Ludebat numero modo hoc modo illoc, Reddens mutua per iocum atque vinum. Atque illinc abii tuo lepore Incensus, Licini, facetiisque, Ut nec me miserum cibus iuvaret, Nec somnus tegeret quiete ocellos, Sed toto indomitus furore lecto Versarer cupiens videre lucem, Ut tecum loquerer, simulque ut essem. At defessa labore membra postquam Semimortua lectulo iacebant, Hoc, iocunde,...
Side 90 - Quintia formosa est multis, mihi Candida, longa, recta est. haec ego sic singula confiteor. totum illud formosa nego: nam nulla venustas, nulla in tam magno est corpore mica salis. Lesbia formosa est, quae cum pulcherrima tota est, tum omnibus una omnes surripuit Veneres.
Side 136 - Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle quam mihi, non si se luppiter ipse petat. dicit; sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti, in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua.
Side 121 - Miser Catulle, desinas ineptire, Et quod vides perisse perditum ducas. Fulsere quondam candidi tibi soles, Cum ventitabas quo puella ducebat Amata nobis quantum amabitur nulla.

Side 129 - Disertissime Romuli nepotum, quot sunt quotque fuere, Marce Tulli, quotque post aliis erunt in annis, gratias tibi maximas Catullus agit pessimus omnium poeta, tanto pessimus omnium poeta, quanto tu optimus omnium patronus.
Side 124 - Extremam iam ipsa in morte tulistis opem, Me miserum aspicite et, si vitam puriter egi, Eripite hanc pestem perniciemque mihi, Quae mihi subrepens imos ut torpor in artus Expulit ex omni pectore laetitias.
Side 22 - THE SCHOLARS BALD heads forgetful of their sins, Old, learned, respectable bald heads Edit and annotate the lines That young men, tossing on their beds, Rhymed out in love's despair To flatter beauty's ignorant ear. All shuffle there ; all cough in ink ; All wear the carpet with their shoes ; All think what other people think; All know the man their neighbour knows. Lord, what would they say Did their Catullus walk that way?
