Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Georgics of Virgil Apology. Too well I know, by fruitless error taught, How latent beauty hath fallacious clues, How difficult to catch, how quick to lose The mirage of imaginative thought. And harder still to make that vision bear The loose refraction of a modern tongue, To render sight to hearing, old to young, And fix my purview on an English ear. Too well I know, by gardeners hope misled. How cheap are things that long have cost me dear; And though I fail to graft the Poet here, No wilding branches may I flaunt instead. But yonder lo, my amethysts and gold, So please you - grapes and apricots - constrain These more accustomed hands; unless ye deign To tend with me the "kine and bees of old."
