Catullus 103

Lesbia has actually spoken to Catullus! Who would have known from the stalkerish poems he has written so far? He always appears to be off in the distance and finally hes up close and very personal. Not only is Lesbia talking to him but she is also saying she is in love with him. It seems too good to be true and it just might be. Catullus really could be insane and making this whole love story up. This poem is a lot different from the others. He seems almost positive that Lesbia is in love with him in the first three and when she actually says she is he gets apprehensive. He has to ask the gods to make sure she is telling the truth when it seemed like he already knew. The thing that is the same throughout all the poems is how much he wants to be with Lesbia. His love for her has not changed and he prays to the gods because of it. Catullus doesn't tell us what happened to Lesbia's husband or if she even has one anymore. Maybe he hasn't thought that far ahead in his fantasy...
