31 The PORCUPINE QUILL -- is chiefly due to the simplicity of his home- spun philosophies. He had no new doctrine to teach and no great epic to relate, yet his works have earned for him universal favour. His genial expression of commonplace truths has appealed to the simple-hearted, everyday pesple of all ages. This year marks the Bimillennium Hora- tianum and lovers of the classics in every country have made adequate preparation to honour the great event. The most important of the celebrations will be a pilgrimage to Horace's beloved Italy to visit the places im- mortalized in lyric poetry by the bard of Venusia. Horace's tomb on the Esquiline Hill is marked by a simple monument, but through- out the entire world his verses stand as an everlasting oenotaph. J. R.

30 ,l,,m.m.mm The PORCUPINE QUILL - et les tracas du jour! Avec delices, ils sa- vourent 1'immense bonheur d'etre tous reunis autour du foyer. L'heure avance rapidement. Et pendant qu'au dehors la neige tombe mollement, pen- dant que dans la cheminee, achevent de se consumer les buches de bouleau, le pete, la mere et les enfants se prosternent, et, unisant leurs voix, implorent le Tout-Puissant, 2. qui ils doivent leur bien-etre. LUCIENNE LABELLE. Scene III: THE 600-FOOT LEVEL German German, as you no doubt know, is the lan- guage spoken by the Germans. It was creat- ed by them for the purpose of communicating with one another. It is composed of beautiful conjugations and declensions which we frequently mix with Latin. It likewise possesses excellent subjunctives. These are especially delightful because their usage resembles that of neither English nor Latin. On September the sixth, A.D., nineteen hundred and thirty-four, I took a momen- tous step and embarked on my study of Ger- man. Allah had decreed it, and, what is written is written. I took German for two reasons. The first was that it is useful in the engineering course which I hope to en- ter some dayg the other, that I wish to be able to speak German. Already, I have found the formation of the words most interesting . Nineteen hun- dred and thirty-five is written Hneunzehn- hundertfunfunddreissigf' Freigebig, the word for generous, is literally free-giving. Thus, by knowing a few simple Words, nu- merous compounds may be developed. By learning the elementary forms and com- bining them I hope one day to be able to communicate in German even as the Ger- mans. JAMES JEREMIAH CLARKE Eine Vorschrift Fritz sagte ein pomphafter Gutsbesitzer an einem alten Landarbeiter: Du bist sehr gebogeri. Weshalb stehst du nicht aufrecht wie ich? Mein Herr antwortete Fritz, Sehen Sie das Kornfeld druben? Ja erwiderte der Gutsbesitzer. Also werden Sie bemerken, dass die vol- len Haupte unten hangen, aber die leeren Haupte aufrecht stehen. Contributed by ELLEN HARIQNESS Humor ' Zwei Augen, Ach! zwei Augen Die haben es gemacht, Dass ich seit jenem Abend Kein Auge zugemacht. Zwei Augen, Ach! zwei Augen Die liegen mir im Sinn Seit jenem Sonntag Abend Ist meine Ruh' dahin. Zwei Augen, Ach! zwei Augen Die sind mir stets bewusst Es sind . . . zwei Huhneraugen An meinem linken Fuss.

With sure skill, he had indeed erected his monument more enduring than brass , for he intended his poetical works to keep his name alive. The lasting fame that Horace has gained
