Georgics I 204 ff.
It’s just as much concern for us
to watch how Stars behave
As for the ones returning homeward
on the Wind and Wave,
Who tempt the oyster-bearing jaws
of a Bottomless Grave.So note the day that balances
the night with equal Hours:
When Light and Shadow split the globe
in half, employ such powers
That drive the Beast and sow the Seed
before the Winter Showers.#poetrycommunity #poetry #poem #AncientAgriculture #georgics #Vergil #poetryintranslation
