The Satires of Horace

"What is special about Matthews Horatian "Satires" is the immediacy of the idiom, the sense of discovery of the actual moment, the quickness of the turn of the line. . . . Horaces words, in Matthews hands, become alive, just-written, and immortal again because they are so new."-Stanley Plumly
