Translation
I'm a little worried about the current translation of "phaesalus". It seems to me that "yacht" has more grand connotations than "little boat" might, and considering Catullus' affinity for diminutives in his epic parodies, "yacht" doesn't seem appropriate for the translation. Suggest changing it to "little boat". Any complaints? --Blisters 02:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Links
This poem is dotted with links to wikipedia. I have nothing personally against that, but it is incongruent with the other poems. Is there some general formatting rule to cover this? Storeye 08:10, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
