Ancient.


For my first paycheck, i bought this book from Border's. The book that i read half way already since last year at that particular row in Border's that says 'History' :D It's Epigrams By Martial. It's The Modern Library Classics Edition. There's the translation and also the original epigram.

I know i know, nerdy. First paycheck, and you invest in an ancient roman literature book, you must think. Well, fuck a cow. I love it. So what?

It's a deep book. Here's one :D

'We all know Galla's services as a whore
Cost two gold bits; throw in a couple more
And you get the fancy extras too. Why, then,
Does your bill, Aeschylus, amount to ten?
She sucks off for far less than that. What is it
You pay her for? Silence after your visit.'


P/S: Some people read my blog but didn't wanna admit it. What's the big deal? I don't care if you do or don't. I just blog for myself, cos i love reading my own rants :D
