I like this because each sentence sounds different and it’s not repeating the same word over and over again. He keeps this consistent throughout

Although I was intimidated at the prospect of translating a Latin lyric poem, I was interested to see what I could come up with. I have chosen to translate “To Dellius” from Book Two, Ode Three. I began by reading a few different translations of the ode, the first by David Ferry, the second by Eugene Field, and the last by Paul Shorey and Gordon J. Laing. David Ferry’s translation makes Horace’s transition from second person to first person in the ode very clear, so I wanted to use the same tactic

The poem I chose to write about is called “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” Written by Robert Frost. The poem is from the point of view of an old man who has been riding through the woods and stops.
