From Catullus Poem by David Mitchell
From Catullus
Soles occidere et redire possunt:
Nobis, cum semel occidit brevis lux,
Nox est perpetua una dormienda.
- Catullus, V.
The sun may set and rise tomorrow bright:
But we, when once shall set our brief day's light,
Shall sleep at last in everlasting night.

I read Catullus for school last semester. I don't remember this particular carmen, though. Anyway, Latin is hard (it's not my major, of course, lol) . Good job translating the poem.
