Carpe Diem : Horace Odes I, Paperback by Horace; West, David, ISBN 0198721617, ISBN-13 9780198721611, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Though Horace is a great poet, much loved and imitated in the past, he is very little read today. This is partly because he has never been translated into readable English that is also faithful to the Latin original. David West here provides such a translation of one of Horace's greatest works, and supports it with a basic commentary that will help newcomers to Horace--whether students or general readers--to understand how the poetry works.
