In Catullus 5 , why does the poet want the two lovers not to know how many times they've kissed (ne sciamus)? (I get why he doesn't want other people to know.)
@Jedothek ,
It's a poetic device.
If they can't keep count of how many times they've kissed then the number must be enormous.
@izzythepush,
Ah. Now that you say it it seems obvious. Thanks!
