Excerpt from Horace and His Influence Sabine Hills On Sabine hills when melt the snows, Still level-full His river flows; Each April now His valley fills With cyclamen and daffodils; And summers wither with the rose. Swift-waning moons the cycle close: Birth, - toil, - mirth, - death; life onward goes Through harvest heat or winter chills On Sabine hills. Yet One breaks not His long repose, Nor hither comes when Zephyr blows; In vain the spring's first swallow trills; Never again that Presence thrills; One charm no circling season knows On Sabine hills.

Excerpt from Horace His Poetry This is to some extent recognized by writers of histories and text-books of literature, and by editors of selections from the works of the poets; for place is always given by them to a certain amount of biographical material. But in the histories and text-books the biography of a given writer stands by itself, and his work has to be sought elsewhere, the student being left to make the connexion for himself; while even in our current editions of selections there is little systematic attempt to link biography, step by step, with production.

Excerpt from The Influence of Horace in the Seventeenth Century: Thesis Of how many men can it be said that they would have made their destiny their choice? We know some great men have said it and Quintus Horatius Flaccus was one of them. His was not a noble birth, for he was cradled in the huts where poor men lie; but as far as being ashamed of it was concerned, t was the last thought that ever entered his mind. After he had become the intimate as sociate of the first men of Rome the favorite of the Emperor and the companion of Maecenas he took pains on more than one occasion to call attention to the fact of his humble birth, and to let it be known that had he to begin life anew, he would not have it other wise.

Excerpt from Interpretations of Horace ON the ninth day of November, 1908, there passed away from this earth one of the most gracious spirits that ever lived. William Medley is mourned by a wide circle of friends who knew him more or less intimately and who were captivated by the charm of his personality. His capacity for friendship was wonderful, and no one was outside the range of his sympathy. His keen enjoyment of life made him a delightful com panion; he was full of brightness and bubbling over with fun. On entering a fresh circle he would at once captivate young and old, and his cheery optimism acted like a tonic on all with whom he came in contact. No one could come within the sphere of his influence without feeling his life uplifted. The simplicity and sincerity of his nature were patent; his very presence seemed to dispel all that was mean and unworthy and to raise one into an atmosphere of truth and love.

Excerpt from The Satires and Epistles of Horace Tms book is intended for use in the class-room. There are therefore many things in the notes which the advanced Latin scholar may pass over. But the editor has derived so much advantage from editions of the Classics in which the notes reminded him in particular connections of things which in general he knew before, that he has not inquired so much whether a thing was likely to be known, as whether it was likely to be thought of in the connection. The notes are intended not so much to aid the student in the study of the Latin language as in the study of Horace, - what he meant, how he felt, and what prompted him to write as he did. In accordance with the plan of the College Series, the notes are put at the bottom of the page to facilitate reference. The editor is persuaded that college students sufficiently advanced to undertake Horace, ought no longer to get and recite lessons, but to study the literature, and understand and enjoy it. If the editor's suggestions enable anybody to do this, his purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Horace's Odes: Englished and Imitated by Various Hands HE popularity of the poet whose writings have taken such a hold upon English literary taste as to have exercised the imitative talent of writers so diverse in their genius as Surrey and Cowper, Marvel and Hood, Dryden and Johnson, Milton and Horace Smith, is sufficiently well established to neces sitate but few words of introduction to this collection, which aims at illustrating, in a necessarily partial degree, the influence of Horace upon three centuries of English poets and scholars.
