Horace is Everywhere!

In my English class, we are reading the Reflections of Edmund Burke. As I was reading I came across a latin sentence. "Non satis est pulchra esse, poemata, dulcia sunto. I scrolled down to the footnote and what do you know? It has a note about Horace and the Ars Poetica. "It is not enough for poems to be beautiful, they must also be pleasing." I think this sentiment can be applied to most of the works we have translated this semester. Not only does Horace focus on different meters, or making puns by using the Greek word for something, but the material he talks about and how he describes things is very funny and pleasing.
