Utile dulci
Omne tulit punctum qui miscuit utile dulci
Lectorem delectando pariterque monendo
Horace Ars Poetica 343
The quotation from Horace translates: “A writer has done the complete task when he blends
substance with style, equally instructing and delighting the reader.” The motto, utile dulci,
translates literally, the useful with the sweet. Latin being a cryptic language and this being a
poem it can be translated more freely in a number of ways – substance with style, knowledge
with a flourish, content with elegance and so on. These, of course, represent the aspirations of
Branxton Press and not a claim to its achievements.
