Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ancient Classics: For English Readers If the saying be true, that the greater the poet is, the less are we likely to know of him from his own writings, Juvenal ought certainly to occupy a very high place among the poets of Rome. In this respect ho offers a most complete contrast to Horace, who has left us in his various poems an account of himself - his character, habits, and pursuits, his successes and his failures - almost as complete as, and far more instructive than, many a professed biography. Juvenal, on the other hand, never allows the personality of the poet to obtrude itself in any way on the readers notice. In reading Horace, we can never lose sight of the cultivated, genial man of the world, who indeed makes his puppets play before us, but allows them to speak only with his own voice, to utter his own words.
