If tl. May be compared to the gardener* Virgil is the greatest gardener in literature. No one, figuratively, grew more glorious garden- blooms than he, outvying even the famed "rosaries of Paestum. " It is not without significance that he lias painted for us in the Georgics a picture of a garden. He intended to have written a separate Georgic on Gardening. - ! - He has given us the vignette of the Coryciiis senex. The Georgics may be called a sort of Earthly Paradise. The flower garden and the ...kitchen garden, the landscape, the terrace, the wild plot, the parterre, the alley, the bush, the tree, the rock, the maze, the lake, the cascade, the statue, the vase, all the "dainty devices" of the cultivator who bends nature to his purpose, he can use them all; nor is the beehive in the corner forgotten. But Virgil has a deeper and a grander aim. To "cultivate his garden" is not enough. Nature is not to be studied only for utilitarian ends. He desires to understand both this world and the next, to find salvation in both.
