L. P. Wilkinson points out what is, for me, the crux of the "Georgics" power..."The Ciceronian and the Augustan ages have always been recognized as of more than passing significance, standing out in high relief on the frieze of history. We see in them most clearly what happens when there is liberty without discipline, and what when there is discipline without liberty. The Georgics is the poem of the transition."
