First Georgic [Excerpt] Comments

A beautifully envisioned meaningful poem throwing light on different aspects of agriculture and harvesting related with the soil and it's chemistry along with climatic conditions. Thanks for sharing it here.

A powerful poem from one of the Greats!

A well thoughtful poem, - Some lessons to learn. The history of the planting in that ground, What crops will prosper there and what will not. In one place grain grows best, in another, vines; Another's good for the cultivation of trees; In still another the grain turns green unbidden.

i love these lines... Not till the earth has been twice plowed, so twice Exposed to sun and twice to coolness will It yield what the farmer prays for; then will the barn Be full to bursting with the gathered grain,

The changing ways of the skies! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
