Whatever he really was, he must always appear to be poignantly individual.
In a very different way, the passion of Lucretius is equally poignant. Not self -revealing, it is almost as self-conscious. These poets were contemporary, and contemporary with Cicero and Caesar. If it is possible to generalise the mood excited in sen- sitive spirits by the crash of the Republic, and the spectre of world-chaos — terribly like what has happened about ourselves since 1914 — we may perhaps call it an intens...ely personal sense of that eternal conflict between man and his environment which was so grandly and so objectively set forth in general terms by the tragic poets of Fifth Cen- tury Greece.^ ' Cf. p. 56.
SALLUST 219 VI SALLUST Cicero and Caesar, Lucretius and Catullus are the four great names of Roman literary tradition between the beginning of the First Century before Christ and the final establishment of the Roman Empire. There were other writers during the last half -century of the Republic; but in general we may consider them either as virtually negligible, like Cornelius Nepos, or as substantially lost, like Terentius Varro, whose Menippean Satires exist hardly more than in name.
