Welcome to Litsy!

Book open at the page of Marot's adaptation of Virgil's 1st eclogue:
“I've enough for a meal: apples, prunes, all mixed with fruits, chestnuts, garlic and curdled milk.“
Translated from the French by Malcolm Quainton?

The apples were picked yesterday; there are fresh walnuts but no chestnuts (summer was too dry).

One of Marot's poems: De la rose. It's supposed to be in L'Adolescence clémentine, but I can't find it there 😕

You can't go to Cahors and not read local 16th-century poet Clément Marot! (That's his bust in the photo)
