Horatius | Joshua Robertson

Why ever do you try to know
The future, which nothing is known?
As though prophecy, or the divine, can say
What will come of your fate and mine.

Stop this; don’t waste your time,
For still the frost will come
While the thunderstorms roll by
And we are drunk on summer wine.

Come, before the winter air blows
For your life hangs like a simple rose
Drooping down for the plucking
Take it before it goes.



Joshua Robertson is an award-winning author in epic, dark fantasy. You may recognize him as the dude whose dragons were said to destroy George R.R. Martin's and Christopher Paolini's dragons in a very biased Twitter poll. His first novel, Melkorka, was released in 2015, and he has been writing fantasy fiction like clockwork ever since. Known most for his Thrice Nine Legends Saga, Robertson enjoys an ever-expanding and extremely loyal following of readers. He currently lives in North Carolina with his better half and his horde of goblins. Learn more at http://www.robertsonwrites.com or connect with him on Twitter or Instagram @RobertsonWrites.
