Along with Virgil, Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus) was the greatest poet produced by Rome, and in many ways his work has had arguably an even greater impact. His brilliant expression and astonishing acumen continue to amaze readers today, either in their original Latin or in innumerable worldwide translations. Shakespeare's debt to Horace is incalculable, and it is difficult to read his Sonnets today without immediately being reminded of the famous Odes.

Sharing your heart, opening up, is not always easy. But once allowed the freedom of expression, a soul pours forth its deepest feelings and thoughts. While some feel exposed when they share, others find the outreach, a true release of the burden of keeping everything locked inside. Allowing others to recognize themselves in your thoughts, is a true human bond. Also, the way you try to analyze and make sense of the world, allows others to let their guards down, and attempt to do the same. Writing letters to lovers, old or new, expressing love as well as disappointment, can be a great way to ...

As the old saying goes, ''a pen is mightier than a sword,'' I can change that phrase to use simpler words which say, ''a pen lives longer than a sword.'' A strong king continues to survive as long as he still has the strength to defend his castle but once he passes on that would be the end of the hero. His life story is then left at the mercy of the local poets to immortalize his name, whether he shall be called great or small is all in the hands of a lowly poet. He therefore relies on others that are in a totally different kind of profession to keep his name remembered, poets may not be ...

From a young age Kerouac was a spiritual thinker and questioner, and he always considered himself a spiritual writer.
