Well if not the Greeks , Petronius Arbiter most certainly did.
Here is another of his works. It could have been written today .
Hope you enjoy it:-
Good God , what a night that was,
The bed was so soft , and how we clung,
Burning together,lying this way and that,
Our uncontrollable passions,
Flowing through our mouths.
If only I could die that way,
I'd say goodbye to the business of living
Translated from the Greek by
Kenneth Rexroth.
