A family is not sure what to do when their beloved old horse, Smokey, begins to lose his eyesight. Putting the horse down is not an option, but neither is boxing him up to a life in a stall. The family decides to place a radio next to Smokey's stall, hoping that the horse will use his ears instead of his eyes to not only navigate freely around his pasture, but to also follow the music back to the safety of his barn. In the challenge of adjusting to life without sight, the old horse inadvertently thwarts the attempts of a greedy land developer from taking his pasture, and also wins the hearts of the townsfolk.

Download or read book Horace Satires Book I written by Horace and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horace's first book of Satires is his debut work, a document of one man's self-fashioning on the cusp between republic and empire, and a pivotal text in the history of Roman satire. It wrestles with the problem of how to define and assimilate satire and justifies the poet's own position in a suspicious society. The commentary gives full weight to the dense texture of these poems while helping readers interpret their most cryptic aspects and appreciate their technical finesse. The introduction puts Horace in context as late-Republican newcomer and a vital figure in the development of satire, and discusses the structure and meaning of Satires I, literary and philosophical influences, style, metre, transmission and Horace's rich afterlife. Each poem is followed by an essay offering overall interpretation. This work is designed for upper-level students and scholars of classics but contains much of interest to specialists in later European literature.
