Homecoming (Catullus 46)
Catullus on his way home from Bithynia is like a college student who feels homesick, argues Emily Lawrence. Catullus 46 discussed, translated, and read aloud by Emily Lawrence.

Iam ver egelidos refert tepores,
iam caeli furor aequinoctialis
iucundis Zephyri silescit auris.
Linquantur Phrygii, Catulle, campi
Nicaeaeque ager uber aestuosae:
ad claras Asiae volemus urbes.
Iam mens praetrepidans avet vagari,
iam laeti studio pedes vigescunt.
O dulces comitum valete coetus,
longe quos simul a domo profectos
diversae varie viae reportant.
