Honors Catullus Class: Clever titles for Catullus Poem #51

Third and Fourth Year Latin Students working very hard on perfecting their Catullus translations.

My third and fourth year Latin students wrote an essay about the physical and psychological reaction that the poet has when he sees Clodia speaking to another man at a party.  For those not familiar with the poem here is a translation: http://rudy.negenborn.net/catullus/text2/e51.htm

Whenever my students compose essays I challenge them to write clever titles for their compositions.  They have really outdone themselves with these selections.  I chose the best ones and I will give some extra credit to the student who receives the most votes in this poll:

My reading choices are rather eclectic. I enjoy reading a wide range of books especially classics, literature in translation, history, philosophy, travel writing and poetry. I especially like to support small, literary presses.
