The new epigrams, by contrast, are closely engaged with the court of the Ptolemies and show a wide range of other interests, from gemstones to lore about divination by birds.
The word epigram comes from a Greek verb meaning "write upon," and the first epigrams were short poems intended to be inscribed in specific contexts, on the stone of a tomb to commemorate the deceased, for example.

Gil Robillard, who piloted 11-1 longshot Epigram to victory in the 1952 Queen's Plate, died Jan. 23 in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
The highlight of Robillard's career in the saddle came 52 years ago over a sloppy main track at Woodbine Park, as Epigram, a maiden with earnings of just $75 at that time, rallied from near the back of the 21-horse field, to capture the top prize of $16,875, plus 50 guineas.
Though the odds appeared to be against Robillard and the bay colt bred by E.P. Taylor, the son of Flares, owned by Three V's Stable, gutted out a length triumph in a stirring score over 79-1 longshot Genthorn in the 93rd running of the Queen's Plate.

The subject matter and length of The Ballad of the White Horse are epic enough; the variance from established epic tradition is the use of what I've elsewhere called an "expanded ballad stanza" (often 5 or 6-liners rather than the 4 of the standard ballad).
His reverence for, things of the Northern Religions, at first that of the Norse, eventually, that of the Celts and Picts with whom he identified — however inaccurately as it may be, based upon his own actual lineage, this eventual "identification" in the truest sense was spiritual and inspirational to a high degree.
