VIRGIL’S BOTANY: SHRUBS

SHRUBS

ecl. 7, 46-47  

I suoi larghi rami danno ombra alle greggi
et quae vos rara viridis tegit arbutus umbra Esperienze
solstitium pecori defendite…
e verde corbezzolo che vi copre con un po’ d’ombra, proteggete dal solstizio il bestiame.

Arbutus unedo L.

  

 

ecl. 7, 27-28

il forte profumo teneva lontani i malefici
… baccare frontem
cingite, ne vati noceat mala lingua futuro.
…wreathe my brow with foxglove, lest his evil tongue harm the bard that is to be. 

Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don s.l.
