Odi et amo: Poetic consternation and euphoria inspired by Catullus
| Resumo: | Apparently irreconcilable feelings, love and hate, appear conjugated in the poetry of Catullus and several other poets who followed him. Nevertheless, although it was Catullo who popularized it, this literary topic is already present in some scarce poems that came to us from Sappho, poems imitated by the Latin poet. In this essay, we are particularly concerned with the catullian poem Odi et amo (nº 85) and the song of love Se eu podesse desamar, of Pero da Ponte, composed fourteen centuries later. The comparison between the two poems also shows us the influence of Catullus on the first moment of Portuguese literature, the troubadour lyric. |
