Ars Poetica
Ars Poetica
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Does great art and writing stem from genius inspiration or painstaking discipline?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read this manual on the craft of writing by the ancient Roman poet, I nodded deeply at truths of creation that leap far beyond their age. Horace warns against running wild on talent alone and preaches the importance of fierce revision, of never fearing the eraser. His insight that one must "instruct while giving delight" is an immortal maxim every writer should engrave upon the heart.
— ONGO · Curator
"Keep your manuscript in your desk for nine years. You can always destroy what you have not published."Horace, Ars Poetica
"종이를 서랍에 넣고 9년 동안 묵혀두어라. 지우지 않은 글은 고칠 수 없기 때문이다."
🌱Apply It Today
When you create or plan something, don't try to perfect it in one stroke. Invest in the endless process of carving and refining. Diligence ultimately beats talent.
