The Truth about Horace By Eugene Field Presented by Michael Gilleland Horace was a favorite of the American poet and journalist Eugene Field (1850-1895), who together with his brother Roswell Martin Field translated many of Horace's poems in Echoes from the Sabine Farm . In "The Truth about Horace," published in his Western and Other Verse , Eugene Field gently chides the professors for their efforts to conceal from their students the Roman poet's amorous adventures. It is very aggravating To hear the solemn prating Of the fossils who are stating That old Horace was a prude; When we know that with the ladies He was always raising Hades, And with many an escapade his Best productions were imbued. There's really not much harm in a Large number of his carmina, But these people find alarm in a Few records of his acts; So they'd squelch the muse caloric, And to students sophomoric They'd present as metaphoric What old Horace meant as facts. We have always thought 'em lazy; Now we adjudge 'em crazy! Why, Horace was a daisy That was very much alive! And the wisest of us know him As his Lydia verses show him, Go, read that virile poem, It is No. 25. He was a very owl, sir, And starting out to prowl, sir, You bet he made Rome howl, sir, Until he filled his date; With a massic-laden ditty And a classic maiden pretty He painted up the city, And Maecenas paid the freight!

Western History / Genealogy Eugene Field Collection Eugene Field is one of America's beloved children's poets, sometimes referred to as the "Children's Laureate." His most famous poems include "Little Boy Blue," "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" and "The Duel." Field was also a journalist and lived in Denver in 1881-1883 while working as an editor with the Denver Tribune newspaper. The Eugene Field Collection at the Denver Public Library is comprised of manuscripts and first-edition books by Field, which were collected by Willard S. Morse, one-time manager of the Tabor Grand Opera House. In 1975, the library purchased the Burt Massee collection, which more than doubled its Field mauscript holdings. Eugene Field Field [1850-1895] was born in St. Louis, and raised in New England during the formative years of his life. His schooling included private instruction, private schools, and four different institutions of higher education. When his father died in 1869, Field spent some of the inheritance adventuring in Europe for six months with his future brother-in-law. When he returned to the States, he began his life as a journalist. Field's first position was in 1873 with the St. Louis Evening Journal

William L. Clements Library The University of Michigan D.N. Diedrich Collection Eugene Field Papers Field, Eugene Papers, 1873 January 10-1893 December 2 15 items Background note: Among the important figures in American journalism during the Gilded Age, Eugene Field stands out for his originality, productivity and energy, as well as for his odd and occasionally outrageous sense of humor. A native westerner of New England extraction, Field made efforts only partially successful to study at Williams College, Knox College, and the University of Missouri, before leaving behind his education in 1873 to marry sixteen year old Julia Sutherland Comstock. While it cannot be said that Field's marriage sobered him up, it provided him with a partner to share in his eccentricities and to watch over his finances that were perpetually imperiled by his headlong rush into any number of new enthusiasms. Having disposed of the remnants of a once substantial inheritance on his wedding trip, Field turned to newspaper editing to earn a living. Climbing the journalistic ladder through Saint Joseph, Saint Louis, and Kansas City, Mo., and Denver, Colo., Field arrived at the apex of his profession in 1883 when he joined the staff of the Chicago Morning News. His editorial column, "Sharps and Flats," earned him a wide readership, providing an original concoction of serious poetry and prose leavened with broad doses of humor, whimsy and satire. As his column drew a larger and larger readership, Field basked in the light of minor celebrity, becoming a much sought-after speaker on the lecture circuit, and a best-selling author of light verse, serious poetry and prose . After moving to Chicago, he indulged an increasingly serious interest in collecting rare books and fine printing, and wrote two popular works on the subject, including a posthumously-published "imaginary autobiography,"

THE ANGEL'S VISIT Do I believe in Angels? Yes. And in their prowlings to and fro I entertained one long ago, In guise of age and sore distress. He clambered up the narrow stairs, And by his heavenly smile I knew He was a truant angel who Had come to visit unawares. "Rest thee, old man," I gayly cried, "And share my humble couch and cheer Thou shalt not want for comfort here My home and heart are open wide." Relieved of temporary cares, The old man laid him down and slept; And in my thankfulness I wept I'd entertained him unawares! I never shall forget that night, My happy dreams, my slumbers sound, And when I woke at noon I found My angel vanished out of sight. Perhaps in years that are to be That angel will return, and yet I sometimes fear he may forget To bring my overcoat to me.

Our little ones are making merry O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest, But in these words (though awkward-very) The genuine article 's expressed. You are as fair and sweet and tender, Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine, As when, a callow youth and slender, I asked to be your Valentine. What though these years of ours be fleeting? What though the years of youth be flown? I 'll mock old Tempus with repeating, "I love my love and her alone!" And when I fall before his reaping, And when my stuttering speech is dumb, Think not my love is dead or sleeping, But that it waits for you to come. So take, dear love, this little token, And if there speaks in any line The sentiment I 'd fain have spoken

rd Ward Public Art CATHARINE BELL on THE EUGENE FIELD MEMORIAL (DREAM LADY) Installed 1922 Created by Edward McCartan Located in Lincoln Park Zoo, northeast of the Primate House I originally came across the "Dream Lady" in 1988, on my first day on the job as photographer and writer at Lincoln Park Zoo. Assigned to "wander around zoo grounds and find an interesting story," I had many choices from among the more than 1,500 animals. But I ended up with an unexpected subject. Just outside the northeast corner of the zoo's Primate House, I came upon and angel, graceful and tall in a flowing robe. With wings tucked behind her and arms gently reaching down toward two children asleep at her feet, she appeared to have momentarily alighted from above. It was hard to believe that this delicate creature and tender moment were entirely sculpted in bronze. How sculptor Edward McCarten carved such charm out of metal may be a tribute to the man whose childrens' poems and lullabies inspired the Dream Lady, Eugene Field (1850-1895). Field's poetry was immensely popular with both the children and parents of his time. "The Rock-a-by Lady," one of his most-beloved works, is portrayed here by the Dream Lady herself, while "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," and "The Sugar Plum Tree," two other favorites, are illustrated on carved relief panels which decorate the front of the sculpture's rectangular granite base.
