VIRGIL’S BOTANY: FOREST TREES

FOREST TREES 

Aen. 8, 598-599          

la valle in cui Venere consegna a Enea le armi forgiate da Vulcano
… undique colles
inclusere cavi et nigra nemus abiete cingunt.
… on all sides curving hills enclose it and girdle the woodland with dark fir trees. 

 

Abies alba Mill. Casentino (AR)    

georg. 2, 118-119        

Di questo albero esotico colpisce il verdeggiare
Quid tibi odorato referam sudantia ligno
balsamaque et bacas semper frondentis acanthi?
Why should I tell you of the balsams that drip from the fragrant wood, or of the pods of the ever blooming acanthus?
