Over two thousand years ago, a Roman poet named Quintus Horatius Flaccus wrote poetry which has over the centuries been the inspiration of writers, statesmen, and philosophers. Until recently, his poetry was the backbone of a solid education, and no student left school without having memorized at least one of his poems. From Horace came the maxims people lived by: non omnis moriar, ira furor brevis est, nunc est bibendum, and the title of this work, carpe diem. Of course, reading Horace was never easy. It took years to learn basic Latin and many more to appreciate the artistry of a poet whose phrases are a challenge to even the best.
