Latin is a very beautiful concise and poetical language. To give a taste I offer some Latin Haikus for your enjoyment. I have translated them into English to indicate their poetic essence! br br PUELLAM PRODIT br IN ANGULO LATENTEM br RISUS VENUSTUS br br By her sweet laughter br The girl hiding in a corner br Is betrayed br br COGITABUNDA br DIU - TANDEM DECIDET br UNICA GUTTA br br Taking time to think br The lonely droplet - at last br Falls form the branch br br HAC NOCTE SALANT br VIRI MULIERSQUE br SALANT ET UMBRAE br br Tonight they all dance br The Men and the Women br Together with their shadows.
