Excerpt from Georgicon, Liber Secundus: Edited for the Use of Schools

To understand and enjoy a great poem we need to know what led the poet to write it, what facts or feelings of the time he meant to give expression to. Unless we have seen the poet's purpose, his leading idea, unless we are aware as we read his lines of the still undercurrent of feeling which the words only half give voice to, we shall be blind to not a few of the beauties most characteristic of his work, and miss just the thoughts which he is most anxious to convey. A few words then on the motive of the Georgics, by way of introduction to the portion here edited, will not be wasted.
