This past Saturday I had the most exciting time of my approximately 16 and a half years of life; I spent a heavenly four and a half hours taking the American College Test, or ACT. But get this; it wasn't just the ACT, but the ACT with writing. How much luckier can a junior get?

Titus Lucretius Carus (ca. 94 BC- ca. 49 BC) was a Roman poet and philosopher. His only work that we know of is the philosophical long poem De Rerum Natura, On the Nature of Things. Stylistically, most scholars attribute the full blossoming of Latin hexameter to Virgil. De Rerum Natura however, is of indisputable importance for its influence on Virgil and other later poets.
