“Love is the only thing that lets us see each other with the remotest accuracy,” was a quote stated by Martha Beck. This quote conveys that with love comes the ability to be able to truly know a person or object. The ability to do this comes with times of analyzation.

Is it Catullus' own irony coming to light here in the invocation of concordia, which will be all-too-absent from the marriage, or is it ironic prophecy on the part of the Parcae? It is hard to imagine the latter, given the triple reference we have already seen to their truth, and the refrain’s reminder that they are not just foretelling the events they sing of, but actively spinning them right then and there.

By creating such imagery, she shows the structures of relationships in comparing their falling silence to an intimate act such as the strap of her dress coming off of her shoulder. Even in “X,” while the relationship in that the speaker…
