Horace by Horace

Horace by Horace

Horace saw the death of the Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire, and was personally acquainted with the emperor Augustus and the poet Virgil.

The poet Tennyson hailed the lines of the Odes as
Jewels five-words-long
That on the stretch'd forefinger of Time
Sparkle for ever

-- Tennyson
