Finished with love Odes

Horace

opens with saying he lived

powerful word placement, shows his instant opinion on his lived death

says love is like war

shows his past experiences

lyres and weapons

juxterposition as both represent weapons if different ways

asks for his to be struck (punished)

use of weapons and reference to war, to describe it, very negative perspective

nunc

strong contrast from the idea of the past

summary

overall personal and philosophical reflection on how love doesnt last forever
