catullus through cold mountain

i hate and i love. why do that? good question.                  no answer, save 'i do'.    nailed, through either hand.                                             no matter how high your spirit     however imposing your looks     you could shoot through seven boards     and read five lines at a glance     and have slept on a tiger head pillow     once sat on an ivory couch     but without any whatyamacallit     you'll be just as cold as snow
