What reading level is The Poetry of Catullus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Only to Virgil and Catullus among Latin poets has Tennyson left the tribute of a song: — Row us out from Desenzano, to your Sirmione row !
So they row'd, and there we landed — " venusta Sirmio !" There to me thro' all the groves of olive in the summer glow, * Popular Edition, Macmillan & Co., iSgg, page 624 seq.
t So Swinburne in the poem beginning " Catulle frater ut velim comes tibi." 14 There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow.
Came that " Ave atqu& Yale "of the Poet's hope...less woe, Tendetest of Roman poets nineteen-hundred years ago, " Fratet Ave atque Vale" — as we wandered to and fro Gazing at the Lydian laughter of the Garda Lake below Sweet Catullus' all-but-island, olive-silvery Sirmio !
One of the first things that strikes us in approaching Catullus is the cold indifference or cQntejnpt with which he seems to be regarded by all but the poets of the ancient world. It is an old grievance against Quintilian that, in his survey of Roman literature, when awarding the palm for lyric poetry to Horace, he bestows but a bare men- tion — and that not an honourable mention — upon Catullus.
