Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Boileau
Les yeux satisfaits S'y promènent au loin sur de vastes marais; C'est là qu'en mille endroits laissant errer ma vue, Je vois croître à plaisir l'oseille et la laitue; C'est là que dans son temps des moissons d'artichauts Du jardinier actif secondent les travaux, Et que de champignons une couche voisine Ne fait, quand il me plaît, qu'un saut dans ma cuisine.
