Classic bilingual collection. What makes the Georgics so great and so eternally appealing is precisely this "poetic" idea that one can regulate one's imagination and one's relationship with the world by contemplating the laws of Nature, which are expressed through agriculture and its productivity. Certainly, times have changed since Virgil. The happiness of peasants now has a nostalgic quality. But Nature has not finished imposing its rules, which must always be reckoned with.
