These poems are a few of those that fostered discussion in our year long Humanities classes, whether at Sammamish H.S, Bellevue International School, or Kirkland International Community School.  I recite these every so often to examine my ideas about authorial design and inflection.  Such poems have always been intentional creations to me. Both Ovid and Horace knew–as did Shakespeare 1,600 years later–that their words would outlast us all.
