Difficilis facilis, iucundus acerbus es idem:
nec tecum possum vivere nec sine te. Difficult and easygoing, pleasant and churlish, You are at the same time: I can neither live with you nor without you. Facile e difficile, dolce ed aspra allo stesso tempo tu sei: non posso vivere né con te né senza di te. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 12, LVI
