Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 34: May, 1930Throughout the Georgics, Vergil has endeavored to color and add dignity and charm to his subject by the introduction of classical and mythological allusions. His ability to depict scenes with life-like vividness is unsurpassed.To Vergil, Nature was not a dead thing. She lived and breathed, and throughout his discourse on husbandry, plants and animals are given human characteristics. He speaks of fields rejoicing, the plough lands mourning, of Mysia as being proud and astonished at its own productiveness. For him the moon blushes, and the sun feels pity. His personal experiences with Nature, coupled with his innate love Of her, have enabled him to produce his best work on a theme usually tedious.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
