The Meaning of Horace's Ut Pictura Poesis

often did I think that I had completely disentangled myself from the snares of traditional exegesis, only to discover, after decades of intense study, that at some crucial point I was still interpreting not the words of Horace but the unwarranted opinion of some of his commentators.' Even here, in this book, he continues, where he has tried to let the reader listen to what the poet is saying rather than to what his patrons have said, he will probably be trapped by that industry of centuries from which he wishes to free the poems.
