Excerpt from The Works of Virgil: Rendered Into English Prose, With Introductions Running Analysis, Notes and an IndexNO age of Rome, perhaps, was so favorable to the pro duction of poetry as that of its first emperor, and no other, if Horace is to be believed, ever saw verse-making quite so much the fashion. That, out of much that was poor, still more whose mediocrity was far from golden, there has survived what is justly regarded as the most nearly perfect ?ower of the Latin speech, seems the natural outcome of the life of the city itself. For the writings of the Augustans, like the early Empire itself, may be likened not to the expres sion of a fresh unfolding youth, but to the more matured and re?ective happiness of a strong man restored to health and peace after lingering long in the Valley of the Shadow. The Rome of Augustus and her people were then also, a century before there was a Tacitus SO to express it, survivors of themselves, and the dawn of the Empire saw for a season that rare and happy combination of youth''s enthusiasm tem pered by the self - control of deep experience. Before that enthusiasm had become jaded, before the luster of the reforms of Augustus had greatly dimmed, it had left as its bequest to undreamt-of multitudes a thing better and greater than Vergil foresaw in his Age of Gold or Horace pictured in his Fortunate Isles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
