Dedicated to our precious Guests! jewel of islands and of peninsulas, Whatever each Neptune carries In the stagnant clear waters and in the vast sea, How gladly and how happy I see you, Scarcely myself believing myself that I have left behind Thynia and the Bithynian fields and that I see you in safety. O what is more blessed than cares freed, When the mind puts down its burden, And we tired from foreign labor come To our hearth and rest in a longed for bed? This is that which is the one thing for such great labors. Greetings, O beautiful Sirmio, and rejoice in your master rejoicing; And you, O Lydian waves of the lake, Laugh whatever there is of laughter at home" Carme 31 - Gaius Valerius Catullus

This is that which is the one thing for such great labors. Greetings, O beautiful Sirmio, and rejoice in your master rejoicing; And you, O Lydian waves of the lake, Laugh whatever there is of laughter at home" Carme 31 - Gaius Valerius Catullus Catullus’ Carmen 31 is a heartfelt and personal poem in which the poet expresses immense joy upon returning to his beloved home after a long and exhausting journey. The specific place mentioned, Sirmio (modern Sirmione), was a peninsula on Lake Garda, which Catullus cherished deeply. In this poem, the speaker marvels at the beauty of his homeland, addressing it as a "jewel of islands and of peninsulas," celebrating its natural charm. The poet is overwhelmed with happiness to have escaped the weariness of travel and labor abroad, particularly in the regions of Thynia and Bithynia, which were part of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Catullus relishes in the pleasure of returning to the tranquility of home, to rest in familiar surroundings after what seems to have been a challenging experience. The passage reflects universal themes: the relief of coming back to one’s place of comfort, the joy of being free from concerns, and the beauty of reconnecting with a cherished landscape. The poem ends on an intimate and joyful note, with Catullus greeting Sirmio and inviting it to rejoice along with him, even calling upon the lake’s waters to "laugh" in harmony with his joy. Catullus’ Latin is full of vivid imagery, affection, and a deep connection to place, making it one of his more personal and joyful poems. Thanks for visiting us!
