The epigraph in L.P. Wilkinson’s Golden Latin Artistry is too good not to share:
Gaius Lucilius…used to say that he wished to be read neither by the very unlearned nor by the very learned; for the former would understand nothing, the latter perhaps more than himself. (Cicero, De Oratore, II, 25)
That book, despite the fruity title, is a treasure.
Agreed (both about the title and about what I’ve read of the contents).
