Disambig

There is also an experimental programming language called Epigram. There should probably be a disambiguation page sitting at the unqualified word. Can somebody do that and/or point me at a resource on how to do it myself? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nentuaby (talk • contribs) 2006-05-19T22:08:09

Epigram Examples

Good nature and good sense must ever join; to err is human, to forgive devine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.221.118.140 (talk • contribs) 2006-05-31T20:48:54

Catullus - Bad Translation

The translation of Catullus's poem 85 in this article is horrible. There is no implication of 'her' in the epigram it literally says 'I hate and I love' any interpretation presuming this poem is simply about Lesbia or some other girl and could not be read in any other sense would be making a gross presumption. Anyway point being, it is a bad translation of the text, it is even contradicted by the Wikipedia article on the same poem (which, by the way, this article should link to). What are you’re thoughts? 130.130.37.13 (talk) 08:27, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

English

The section on poems using the epigrammatic form had poor English and structure, I've tidied it. However I'm still not sure of the sense or relevance of it - needs a better explanation of how the form has been used and adapted in English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gymnophoria (talk • contribs) 09:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
