Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of poems by Roman elegist Sextus Propertius, dating from the first century BCE. Elegies are highly structured love poems, and in this collection, Propertius writes about his love for a woman named Cynthia. The poems here are a mixture of praising his love, pleading for her return, and despairing at her absence. Propertius's work is distinguished by its wit, passion, and technical accomplishment, and the poems in this collection are no exception. They provide an intimate glimpse into the mind and heart of one of Rome's most famous poets, and offer a unique insight into the nature of love and desire.
