Etymology: From Horace + -ian.
Base: Horace
Affixes: -ian
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: Of or pertaining to the Roman poet Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus; 65–8 BCE) or to his works or style.
pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: There are three typical forms of ode: Horatian, Pindaric and irregular. Horatian odes follow the conventions of Horace, who deliberately imitated the Greek lyricists such as Alcaeus and Anacreon.
Satirical literature can commonly be categorised as Horatian, Juvenalian or Menippean. Horatian satire playfully criticizes some social vice through gentle, mild, and light-hearted humour.
Jonson was the most Horatian of the Elizabethans, both by nature and by study.
Again nothing could be more Horatian than the high spirits of the introduction of the poem.
While these writers would have been familiar with both,^([the Horatian and Juvenalian styles of satire]) some were naturally "attracted to the abrasiveness of Juvenal rather than the suavity of Horace" while others found they were able to express whatever they wanted to express in more Horatian tones.

If you look down at the Punjab from an aircraft, you will see here and there below you, splotching the green fields like mold on the wall of an old house, patches of gray decay, rising patternless and ominous across the landscape. This is salination, a rotting of the land caused by a rise in the level of the underground water table, which forces the salts of the earth to the surface and gradually turns fields back to desert.
An environmentally conscious population labels the phenomenon of land degradation in Australia (specifically, the erosion of top-soil and salination caused by irrigation after deforestation) as AIDS of the earth; the same metaphor is used in America.

1939, James Stevens Simmons, Malaria in Panama, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Press, Chapter 7 “Sanitary methods used for the control of malaria in the Canal Zone,” p. 189,
In many of the vast sea-level swamps of the Atlantic side, no slope whatever can be obtained, and here dependence is placed on a grid system of intercepting earthen ditches, communicating with seawater at each end whenever practicable, to insure quick run-off of rain water and thorough salination of every part of the swamps.
1989, Michael Renner, “Enhancing Global Security” in Lester R. Brown et al., State of the World 1989: A Worldwatch Institute Report on Progress Toward a Sustainable Society, New York: Norton, p. 142,
Disputes revolve around water diversion or reduced water flow, industrial pollution, the salination or siltation of streams, and floods aggravated by soil erosion.

2004, B. M. Boyle, Brutalism, R. Stephen Sennott (editor), Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century Architecture, Volume 1: A-F, Taylor & Francis (Fitzroy Dearborn), page 181,
Nonetheless, despite its radical appearance, Brutalism could claim, if not legitimacy, at least ancestry in pre-World War II modernism.
The trend towards Brutalism - an austere style that had its origins in the Bauhaus and is characterized by its emphasis on the building materials (especially bare concrete) and unconcealed service pipes - did little to improve the situation.
