Albius Tibullus was a Roman poet celebrated for his elegies. His work, often focusing on rural life and personal experiences, is characterized by delicate sentiment and profound insight into human emotions. Though Tibullus shied away from military conflict and war, his poetry captures deep melancholy as well as joy in living. His writings are valued for their lyrical beauty and elegance, which continue to resonate with readers today.
Catullus (84 54BCE) couples consummate poetic artistry with intensity of feeling. Tibullus (c. 54 19 BCE) proclaims love for Delia and Nemesis in elegy. The beautiful verse of the Pervigilium Veneris (fourth century CE?) celebrates a spring festival in honour of the goddess of love.
