You ask how many kissings of you, Lesbia, are enough for me and more than enough?
Quaeris, quot mihi basiationes
tuae, Lesbia, sint satis superque?
tuae, Lesbia, sint satis superque?

More quotes by Catullus
What a woman says to her ardent lover should be written in wind and running water.
To whom am I to present my pretty new book, freshly smoothed off with dry pumice stone?
It is difficult at once to relinquish a long-cherished love.
What woman says to fond lover should be written on air or the swift water.
