A quotation from Horace

Smiles are contagious; so are tears; to see
Another sobbing, brings a sob from me.
No, no, good Peleus; set the example, pray,
And weep yourself; then weep perhaps I may.
 
[Ut ridentibus adrident, ita flentibus adflent
humani voltus. Si vis me flere, dolendum est
primum ipsi tibi: tum tua me infortunia laedent,
Telephe vel Peleu.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 101ff (2.3.101-103) (19 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

As many nights as there are days

#February 2, 1861
#OTD Joseph Seamon Cotter Sr., American #Poet, #Writer, & #Community #Leader, is born.

Raised in #Louisville, #Kentucky, Joseph was one of the earliest African-American published playwrights.

His #Poems could be #Poignant:

The #Flowers take the tears of #Weeping night,
& give them to the sun for the day's #Delight.

He could also be #Clever:

What deeds have sprung from #Plow & pick!
What bankrolls from #Tomatoes!
No dainty #Crop of #Rhetoric
Can match one of #Potatoes.
