Owing to the unwillingness of many persons to have to do with these women, class of occasional practitioners arose who secretly learned from them some one or other of their arts, and then used this knowledge on their own account. The Roman prostitutes, for example, tried to enhance their personal attractions by charms of another description in the style of the Horatian Canidia.
In the Homeric sense, as allusive to the hurling of the ponderous chermadion, the figure is correct and expressive. And here, as everywhere, we see the Horatian parenthesis upon Homer, as one, qui nil molitur inepte, who never speaks vaguely, never wants a reason, and never loses sight of a reality, amply sustained.
Even Milton's sonnet, though dignified, is reserved if not distrustful. Marvell's "Horatian Ode," the most truly classic in our language, is worthy of its theme.
The summer was spent in long rambles over the mountains of Austria, ending up with a month of deep repose in Berchtesgaden. The next year was like unto this, except that its roaming, restless summer closed with several months in Vienna; and on October 17, 1873, nonum in annum, after the Horatian counsel, the prodigious masterpiece, Emperor and Galilean, was published in Copenhagen at last.
"But," said I, coming in opportunely, like the Horatian deity, "I don't see that either of you gentlemen has a right so to dispose of my ancestry. It is quite clear that a man has no possession in posterity. Posterity may possess him; but deuce a bit will he ever be the better for his great great-grandchildren!" Squills. "Hear, hear!" "But a man's ancestry is a positive property to him.
They fulfilled the Horatian principle, 'If you wish me to weep, your own eyes must overflow' and if you wish me to believe, you must speak, not 'with bated breath and whispering humbleness, but as if you yourself believed it, and were dead set on getting other people to believe it, too. And then the third thing that Paul had we have, and that is the presence of the Christ.
Montaigne, and Swift, he read continually. He was a collector of rare editions of the Classics, and would dawdle over a Greek play, edited by some learned German, for a week at a time, losing himself in the profundity of elaborate foot-notes. He was an ardent admirer of the lighter Roman poets, and believed the Horatian philosophy the only true creed by which a man should shape his existence.
The one-volume edition of 1890 reproduced all this, adding Horatian Echo and Kaiser Dead; it is complete save for the two prize poems, and six or seven smaller pieces.
She sank back in her chair, raising her hands and letting them fall with a gesture of despair. One little stroke of punishment just one! Surely there was no cruelty in that. Sir Wilfrid caught the Horatian lines dancing through his head: "Just oblige me and touch With your wand that minx Chloe But don't hurt her much!" Yet here was Jacob interposing!
Jarring Byronic notes interrupt the flow of his Horatian humours. His mirth has something of the tragedy of the world for its perpetual background; and he feasts like Don Giovanni to a double orchestra, one lightly sounding for the dance, one pealing Beethoven in the distance.
