11562Hood's letter: On letterhead of Osborne Isle of Wight. 8 January 1891. Mrs Gye's draft reply: without place or date. Both items good on lightly-aged paper. Rosa Hood's sister Adelaide Fanny was the wife of Herbert F. Gye and letter and reply are written informally. Hood's letter: 3pp. 12mo. She received Mrs Gye's letter that morning 'and the Queen has read it' and is 'quite pleased with your reply'. 'The Queen desired me to assure you that she had never for a moment supposed that you were responsible for the article in the newspaper - only the Queen thought it was better to have the matter mentioned to you - especially as it might be copied into other papers.' The Queen also thinks that Mrs Gye should 'have some contradiction put in the Paper'. Mrs Gye's draft reply: 2pp. 12mo. She writes that she cannot express her relief at the contents of Hood's letter. 'Since your first letter the thought that Her Majesty would be displeased about it has troubled me very much - therefore you can imagine how delighted I am to find the Queen did not imagine I was responsible.' She has 'written to Church Journal to deny the authorship of the article and ask them to publish it'. Hood's letter: On letterhead of Osborne [Isle of Wight]. 8 January 1891.

A very large and clean copy with marginal indexing on a few signatures in red others in brown ink. A very Large copy of a very very rare edition of Horace https://data.cerl.org/istc/ih00451000 GW 13457; Goff H451; BMC V 315 IB. 21815; Bod-inc H-203; CIBN H-275. Located copies:The Walters Art Museum Bancroft Library Yale Free Library of Philadelphia Princeton Univ. Brown University Pauline Fore Moffitt Library University of California General Library. The unique charm of Horace's lyric poetry arises from his combination of the metre and style of the distant past—the world of the Archaic Greek lyric poets—with descriptions of his personal experience and the important moments of Roman life. He creates an intermediate space between the real world and the world of his imagination populated with fauns nymphs and other divinities.<br />He denounces corrupt morals praises the integrity of the people of Italy and shows a ruler who carries on his shoulders the burden of power. Other Augustan themes that appear in Horace's lyric verse include the idea of the universal character and eternity of Roman political dominion and the affirmation of the continuity of the republican tradition with the Augustan principate. At some stage Augustus offered Horace the post of his private secretary but the poet declined on the plea of ill health. Not withstanding Augustus did not resent his refusal and indeed their relationship became closer.<br />"Horace's success as a poet can be measured partly by how difficult he is to imitate and translate and by how many admirers have sought to do both. Readers in the Middle Ages looked to Horace as a moralist and as a literary critic and appreciated the Satires and Epistles more than the more difficult Odes. The enthusiasm of the Italian Renaissance poets Petrarch 14th century Landinio and Politian late 15th century for the Odes encouraged the popularity of Horace's lyric. Horace was one of Montaigne's 16th century favorite poets. The themes and poetics of both the lyrics and the satires greatly influenced Ben Jonson late 16th early 17th century Robert Herrick Andrew Marvell Milton and Dryden 17th century. The Odescontinued to be springboards for much of both public and private 17th-century English lyrics. Pope was the leading Horatian poet writing in English during the 18th century the Age of Augustanism especially imitating Horace's hexameter poetry while Alfred Lord Tennyson Matthew Arnold Byron and Rudyard Kipling were among Horace's enthusiasts in the 19th century. Horace continued to inspire modern poets among them Ezra Pound. <br /><br />While the different genres of his work have specific qualities they all share in being Horatian a quality that many have tried to define. In Nietzsche's view Horace's peerless artistry separates him from all other poets. Compared to Horace's Odes "All the rest of poetry becomes in contrast something too popular—a mere garrulity of feelings" "What I owe to the ancients" Twilight of the Idols 1 https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/horace .
