agriculture
are
particularly
pious or
just
(maximeque
pius
quaestus,)
and
according
to Varro
the old
Romans
“called
the same
earth
Mother and
Ceres, and
thought
that they
who
cultivated
it led a
pious and
useful
life, and
that they
alone were
left of
the race
of King
Saturn.”
We are
wont to
forget
that the
sun looks
on our
cultivated
fields and
on the
prairies
and
forests
without
distinction.
They all
reflect
and absorb
his rays
