"I will sodomize you and face-fuck you,
bottom Aurelius and catamite Furius,
you who think, because my poems
are sensitive, that I have no shame.
For it's proper for a devoted poet to be moral
himself, [but] in no way is it necessary for his poems.
In point of fact, these have wit and charm,
if they are sensitive and a little shameless,
and can arouse an itch,
and I don't mean in boys, but in those hairy old men
who can't get it up.
Because you've read my countless kisses,
you think less of me as a man?
I will sodomize you and face-fuck you."
- Catullus

IMPRESSIONISM IS NOT DEGENERATE
Gimme gimme chicken tendies,
Be they crispy or from Wendys.
Spend my hard-earned good-boy points,
on Kid's Meal ball pit burger joints.
Mummy lifts me to the car,
To find me tendies near and far.
Enjoy my tasty tendie treats,
in comfy big boy booster seats.
McDonald's, Hardee's, Popeye's, Cane's,
But of my tendies none remains.
She tries to make me take a nappy,
But sleeping doesn't make me happy.
Tendies are the only food,
That puts me in the napping mood.
I'll scream and shout and make a fuss,
I'll scratch, I'll bite, I'll even cuss!
Tendies are my heart's desire,
Fueled by raging, hungry fire.
Mummy sobs and wails and cries,
But tears aren't tendies, nugs or fries.
My good-boy points were fairly earned,
To buy the tendies that I've yearned.
But there's no tendies on my plate!
Did mummy think that I'd just ate?
"TENDIES TENDIES GET THEM NOW,
YOU FAT, UNGRATEFUL, SLUGGISH SOW!"
I screech while hurling into her eyes,
My foul-smell bowel-dwelling diaper surprise.
For she who is un-pooped on is she who remembers:
Never forget my chicken tenders.

Plutarchs parallel lives, great book.
>>75906334
I'm reading Tacitus' "Annales" right now. I already read "Germania and the Agricola," and really like his no-nonsense manner about describing the early Empire. Also, Marcus Aurelius changed my perception about many things. What a great book.
>>75907034
Lol, I really want to get around to Catullus at some point too.
>>75906334
he is my classical husbando

Marquis de Sade - 120 Days of Sodoma.
Thank me later Senpai.

Be more specific of what you wan't. Don't just ask for classical shit, it's comming of like you're trying to hard to be someone you're not.

Novel, Karamazov Brothers.
Paintings, pic related. One of my favourite painters.
Music, lots of shit, but classically speaking I must say Chaikovskii
>>75914365
I think I like you
>All these plens posting art and literature from periods that aren't actually classical.
How to know if it is classical:
>From Greek and Roman culture before the fall of the Western Empire in 476 AD
>From anything after that period
Pick one
If you picked option one it is classical. If you did not it is not a classic, nor is it classical.

A pilgrims progress by John Bunyan
If you haven't read it at least listen to the free audio book of it on libravox.
I wish they made an adaptation of The Odyssey after they made Troy. I liked how Troy was made. It took the myth and made all the gods and supernatural things into metaphors and very human things.
Would've been cool to have seen a movie in which Sean Bean doesn't die.
>>75918088
I think by Classical op means anything that isn't modern, could be wrong though i don't know.
>>75918936
fucking retard, he did not die in Troy.
His hair recorded by seutonius was fair and his eyes grey though, apparently several of his ancestors were also known for having fair hair.
>>75906334
All in all I really enjoy Marco Benefial Massacre of the Innocents. He managed a very well done haunting feeling in his work that other renderings of the scene don't quite capture.
However statue wise Gian Lorenzo Bernini's The Rape of Proserpina. The way he managed to make stone seen supple is just amazing.
>>75920096
Waaayy better coloring in my opinion.

Looks kinda like Putin
Prettiest painting I've ever seen
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

tell me more about those annales ?

Suetonius says his hair was golden and that his skin was neither light nor dark.
get wrecked eurotrash
Cicero's letters were really influential for me, particularly the dialogue on old age. To summarize-
>every human being ages and eventually dies
>life has many stages
>every stage is worth living through
>every stage has its own particular responsibilities and strengths
>it is disgraceful for a man to cling to youth past his prime
>death can't be all bad if everyone who has ever lived has done it
>if there's an afterlife, then we will be happy
>if not, we can rest after a long life lived well
>a properly lived life ends with a proper death, like a proper voyage ends with the captain pulling his ship into port
I think about it almost every day.
