Description
Timeless meditations on the subjects of wine, parties, birthdays, love, and friendship, Horace s "Odes," in the words of classicist Donald Carne-Ross, make the commonplace notable, even luminous. This edition reproduces the highly lauded translation by James Michie. For almost forty years, poet and literary critic John Hollander notes, James Michie s brilliant translations of Horace have remained fresh as well as strong, and responsive to the varying lights and darks of the originals. It is a pleasure to have them newly available. "
