“Garden of the Hesperides” by Sir Frederic Leighton
“Thoughts in a Garden” by Andrew Marvell
What wondrous life in this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.
Andrew Marvell (31st March 1621 – 16th August 1678)
Sir Frederic Leighton (3rd December 1830 – 25th January 1896)
