I hate and I love

I hate and I love. Why I do this, perhaps you ask.
I do not know, but I sense that it is happening and I am tortured.

This epigram by Catullus deals with the same theme of yesterday's poem by Anacreon. But here the drama is exacerbated by the sad realization that this trouble arises independently of the human will. In addition, the poem contains eight verbs, no adjectives, and no nouns. This reversal of normal poetic structure (usually mostly nouns and adjectives) emphasizes the drama and conflicting emotions Catullus feels. (from Wikipedia).
