- 25943469_1_bomc-eclogues-translator quote "It's got to be one of the weirdest things that's ever happened to him, says David Slavitt... "If you really want to know what I think, it's loony luck. It seems to illustrate one of these bizarre morals - like 'stick to your last,' 'if you build it they will come,' 'be true to yourself' - in which nobody believes, but in which we wish we could." Slavitt found Avianus in the Loeb Classical Library's Minor Latin Poets and began by "playing" with Avianus: "And, of course, I got hooked. I began to find that there was an elegance, a playfulness, a knowing manipulation of the faux naif posturing that was extremely pleasing. ... I'd found a poet who was minor perhaps, but excellent."".
