University starts again for me today. I really have a lot to do because the final exams are in a month.
So there's nothing better than going to the library after my seminars and studying while it's raining heavily outside.

Winnie Ille Pu
Who the heck translated Winnie the Pooh into Latin. Why would you ever do that.
(It is a rhetorical question: I am aware of the translator on the cover.)
I found another Pooh book in Latin!

You wandering and winsome little soul,
The body's guest and its companion too,
Into what places now will you depart?
You pale and stiff and naked little thing,
You won't make jokes the way you're wont to do.
Animula vagula blandula
Hospes comesque corporis
Quae nunc abibis in loca?
Pallidula rigida nudula
Nec ut soles dabis iocos.
--The dying poem of the Roman emperor Hadrian, cited in the "Vita Hadriani" of the Historia Augusta

I’m so tired of people discussing what’s the greatest truth Donna Tartt wrote in The Secret History when it’s obviously this one
“You want to know what Classics are?" said a drunk Dean of Admissions to me at a faculty party a couple of years ago. "I'll tell you what Classics are. Wars and homos.”
