Propertius

"cuncta tuus sepelivit amor, nec femina post te
ulla dedit collo dulcia vincla meo." (III.15.11-12)

Your love has buried all others, and no woman after you has given sweet chains to my neck.

Sorry for not having posted much - I've had my exams and really not done much translation, but I hope to do more. This is just a quick quote from Propertius that constantly keeps getting stuck in my head, even though I haven't really read any Propertius yet.

I'm not dead yet and neither is my passion for Latin; both are alive and kicking, as the old chestnut would have it. I just need time and energy.
