To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the boughs of the tall, richly foliaged elms comes the croon of the turtle-dove. We find ourselves in the shade of thick woods of high chestnuts, broad-leaved aesculus and oak, . huge ash - trees, white poplars, and umbrageous plane-trees. We hear the varied music of the winds as they pass through groves that whisper and pines that speak. The ilex rustles in the breeze. We are taken up to the hills to see the barren mountain-ash among the rocks, and higher still to the dark firs that cloth...e the heights, and the yews that love to grow in the path of the chill north winds.
The poet's eye was caught by the sombre tints of the coniferous trees and their deep shadows, in strong contrast with the lively greenery and mottled shade of the deciduous kinds. He refers to the nigra abies, the picea nigrans, the juniperi gravis umbra, and the feralis cupresnis with its THE ^SCULUS TREE 155 frondibus atris. Even the individual plants in the tapestry of verdure that hangs over rocky- scarps meet with Virgil's appreciative recognition.
