Notable Quote: The Source of Writing Well by Horace

Horace  is one of favorite poets.  I've been meaning to self teach myself Latin.  If I finally do it this year, I'll be going to read him in the original.


Of writing well the source and fountainhead is wise thinking.

-Horace

  3. Long story short, let's just say that my gut feeling was thinking of Adam in paradise learning Latin when Eve laid an egg and we now call "IT" Adam's Apple!? OK!...lol

    Deus tecum
