Quintus Horatius Flaccus:
(8 December 65 BC – 27 November 8 BC).
The leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus (also known as Octavian). The rhetorician Quintilian regarded his Odes as the only Latin lyrics worth reading: “He can be lofty sometimes, yet he is also full of charm and grace, versatile in his figures, and felicitously daring in his choice of words.”
The naked truth.
Painters and poets have always had the freedom to undertake what they wanted.
