Catullus loves Lesbia. He is overwhelmingly infatuated with her and it is also pretty clear he has those same feelings about kissing her.
He seems to me to be a very passionate person, especially when it comes to Lesbia. I love the way he answers the question apparently presented by Lesbia. By comparing how many kisses he wants to the amount of sand in these places he lists, he is saying that he wants basically an infinite amount.
I've noticed that all his poems are about loving Lesbia. This considered, I wonder how the tones and themes of his poems will change if anything bad happens to Lesbia or even the relationship that they have with eachother. Now, the tones are loving and very much nice and sweet. I'll just have to wait and find out how, if they even do, change...
