Example text
But even this does not mean that the seasoned orator has no work to do. When Cicero says, nolo haec tam minuta constructa appareat, context is everything, for in the pages that precede and follow, Cicero is describing—in what can only be called minute detail— not only the proper placement of words but also that of syllables into the sonorous rhythms of Ciceronian prose. Indeed, the key word here is appareat : “I do not want this construction to appear so minute”—Cicero does not say that the construction should not be so minute.
We start with the De oratore, where the quotation nominally is made by the orator Lucius Licinius Crassus, principal speaker of the fictitious dialogue. Crassus’s banter around the two lines is colloquial to the point of obscurity, but his basic meaning is plain enough: Lucilius, Albucius, and Crassus himself may differ in degree of skill, but all share an interest in conlocatio verborum, the proper placement of words. Crassus describes their common technique as follows: Conlocationis est componere et struere verba sic ut neve asper eorum concursus neve hiulcus sit, sed quodam modo coagmentatus et levis.
Near the end, we shall try to begin to answer a further question about the remarkable influence that Lucretius’ poem—and in particular, its finale—would exert on subsequent Latin poetry, all the way to the Renaissance. Wor ms In the second book of his satires, Lucilius seems to have offered a version in hexameters of the trial for extortion of the elder Quintus Mucius Scaevola, a friend. 12 What kinds of mosaics did Lucilius have in mind? , studio pieces made of tiny cubes and then “set into” larger pavements worked more crudely (hence, embl¯ema, an “insert,” from emball¯o).
