"Horace, ketika ia menulis Ars Poetica, merekomendasikan agar penyair menyimpan puisi mereka di rumah selama sepuluh tahun; jangan biarkan mereka pergi, jangan menerbitkannya sampai Anda menyimpannya selama sepuluh tahun: pada saat itu, mereka harus berhenti bergerak pada Anda; pada saat itu, Anda seharusnya sudah benar."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Horace, when he wrote the Ars Poetica, recommended that poets keep their poems home for ten years; don't let them go, don't publish them until you have kept them around for ten years: by that time, they ought to stop moving on you; by that time, you ought to have them right.
