"ἁδὺ δὲ τῶ θέρεος παρ’ ὕδωρ ῥέον αἰθριοκοιτεῖν.τᾷ δρυῒ ταὶ βάλανοι κόσμος, τᾷ μαλίδι μᾶλα, τᾷ βοῒ δ’ ἁ μόσχος, τῷ βουκόλῳ αἱ βόες αὐταί" (Theocritus, Idyll 8.78-80).
"cum laeta vocantibus aestas in saltus utrumque gregem atque in pascua mittet" (Virgil, Georgics 3.322-23).
Becket Braunlin's summer days in his dad's garden are always bucolic, carefree, and fun!
