Tacitus Vergilius Maro
Roman poet. Born in the village of Andes near Lumantoya, southern alps. After receiving basic education in my hometown, I went to Rome and South Italy to study philosophy, mathematics and medicine. About 44 BC, he returned to his hometown, farming and writing poems. He was the most important poet in the period of Augustus in ancient Rome.
Virgil, the greatest poet in Rome, was not born in Rome. In his early years, he lived on a farm in a small village in the Andes near mantua. His father was a rich farmer, which gave Virgil a good education. Virgil, a teenager, was sent to schools in cremona and Milan. He went to Rome at the age of 17 to learn rhetoric and philosophy from the best teachers at that time.
Virgil's first published poetry collection, Pastoral, contains 10 poems. The specific writing age of each poem is unknown. Pastoral poetry (called pastoral poetry) began in Alexander's poetry in the 3rd century BC, with Teocritos as the representative poet, and was introduced to Rome around 1 century BC. Virgil's pastoral songs mainly fictionalize the life and love of some shepherds, express pastoral joy through dialogue or duet, and sometimes involve some political issues. Virgil's second work, Farming Poetry, was written in 37-30 BC, with four volumes, each of which describes an agricultural problem: planting grain, gardening, animal husbandry and beekeeping. The creation of this poem is related to Augustus' efforts to revitalize agriculture.
Virgil's most important work is the epic Aeneas. The poet began to write this poem in 29 BC, and completed the first draft before his death, which was published by friends after his death. The whole poem consists of 12 volumes and 10000 lines. It tells the story that the hero Aeneas left his native land after being captured by the Greek army in Troy, and went through hardships to reach Italy to establish a new country (his descendants established Rome). Finally, the local tribal leaders Turnos and Aeneas were killed in a duel. Epic praises the historical inevitability of Roman state and Augustus' rule with myths and legends. Its plot structure imitates Homer's epic, but its specific description has its own characteristics. The whole poem has vivid plot, strong story and concise language. Aeneas is the first personal epic in the history of European literature, which has been well received since its publication. Enit is another famous epic of Virgil. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the characters in Init are mentioned many times.
At the same time, he is also one of the creators of the recent popular ACT game devil may cry 3, in which Dante's twin brother is the real body of DMC generation black knight. The name comes from publius vergilius maro, an ancient Roman poet in the first century BC. His masterpiece is a long narrative poem "Aeneas" written by the Roman emperor, which describes the myth and legend that Aeneas, the son of Venus, built Rome. He is also the most admired writer of the poet Dante. In the Divine Comedy, the latter called him a "teacher", invented him to save himself from getting lost, and invited himself to visit hell and heaven. 1823 - 19 15
Jean-Henri casimir Fabres is a French entomologist, animal behaviorist and writer. Known by the world as "the hippo in the insect world and the Vergilius in the insect world". Born in a farmhouse in Saint Leon, Provence, southern France. In the next few years, Fables spent time with his grandparents in Malaval, not far from the village. At that time, he was attracted by lovely insects such as butterflies and slugs in the country.
1829, Fabres returned to St. Rennes to start school, but that childhood has been deeply engraved in his heart.
1833, the Fables family came to rodez, and his father made a living by running a coffee shop.
1837, the family moved to Toulouse. Fables entered the seminary in Toulouse, but later dropped out of school, went out to make a living, worked on the railway and sold lemons in the market. Later, he passed the selection examination of avignon Normal School, won a scholarship, and obtained a diploma from an institution of higher learning after three years of study. After graduation, Fables, then 19 years old, began his teaching career in Cabentra. His course was the history of natural science.
1849, he was appointed as a physics teacher in ajaccio, Corsica. The beautiful natural scenery and rich species on the island ignited his enthusiasm for studying plants and animals. Le Quinn, a botanist in avignon, taught him knowledge. After that, he followed Mocan Tang Tong to collect flowers and plants everywhere. This knowledgeable tutor laid a solid foundation for Fabres to become a naturalist and embark on the road of scientific research.
1853, Fables returned to French mainland, was employed by a school in avignon, and moved his family into a simple houses in the rue Saint Dominique.
1857, he published "Observation on the Habit of Sapium sebiferum", which corrected the wrong view of Leon dufour, the founder of entomology at that time, thus winning the praise of French research institute and being awarded the experimental physiology prize. During this period, Fabers also devoted himself to the study of natural dye madder or alizarin. At that time, the red color on French soldiers' trousers came from madder powder.
In 1860, Fabers obtained three patents for this kind of research. Later, at the invitation of Victor Durui, Minister of Public Education, Fables was in charge of the organization and teaching of an adult night school, but its free teaching method caused some people's dissatisfaction. So he quit his job and settled down in Orange with his family, where he lived for more than ten years. In this decade, Fabres completed the first volume of ten volumes of Insects. During this period, he and his friends went to Wandu several times to collect plant specimens. In addition, he also got to know the British philosopher Mill, but Mill died young, which made their previous plan "Vaccruz Vegetation Grand View" die. At the same time, a great misfortune befell Fables: he had six children, and Jules, the only son who shared his father's interests and loved observing nature, died at the age of sixteen. Since then, Fables has dedicated several plants he discovered to Jules, who died young, to express his memory. The study of fungi has always been one of Fables' hobbies.
In 1878, he wrote many wonderful academic articles on the theme of Vacruzzi's fungi. He also studied the seeds in detail, and described his fragrance in detail. Gourmets claim that they can taste all the flavors described in his works from real chopsticks.
In 1879, Fabers bought the deserted stone garden in Ang, cellini Province, and lived there until his death. This is a barren land, but it is the favorite land of insects. In addition to living for his family, there is also his study, studio and testing ground, which allows him to quietly concentrate on thinking and devote himself wholeheartedly to various observations and experiments. It can be said that this is the world he has always dreamed of. It was here that Fabres observed and experimented, sorted out his observation notes, experimental records and scientific notes on insects in the first half of his life, and finished the last nine volumes of Insects. Today, this former residence has become a museum, quietly located in a botanical garden with a strong Provencal style.
Fabers insisted on self-study all his life, and successively obtained bachelor's degree, bachelor's degree in mathematics, bachelor's degree in natural science and doctor's degree in natural science. He is proficient in Latin and Greek and loves the works of Horace, an ancient Roman writer, and Virgil, a poet. He almost taught himself painting and watercolor painting, and his many exquisite illustrations of fungi were praised by Nobel Prize in Literature winner and French poet Frederic mistral. In his later years, Fables's success in insects earned him the reputation of "Homer of Insects" and "Poet of Science", and his achievements were widely recognized by the society. Although Fables won many scientific titles, he remained as simple, shy and humble as ever, and lived a poor life. His talent was admired by scholars at that time, including British biologist Darwin, Belgian playwright maeterlinck,191Nobel Prize in Literature winner, German writer Jung, French philosopher Bergson, poet Malamei, Provence writer Roumani, and so on. Because Fables' experiment was accurately recorded in Insect Tales, many secrets of insect life and habits were also revealed. Darwin called Fables an "imitative observer". When he lived in Cerini, many scholars and writers visited him in succession. Fables had received Pasteur, British philosopher Mill and other scholars in his residence, but he did not correspond with them frequently. Victor Durui, Minister of Public Education, recommended Fables to Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte, who awarded him the Medal of Honor. French politician Raymond Poincare paid tribute to him by making a detour through Cerini. Fables's works with multiple identities are varied: as a naturalist, he left many academic works on animals and plants, including Madder: Patents and Papers, Animals in avignon, Cuckoo, Mushrooms on Olive Trees, Grape Root Aphids and so on. As a teacher, he has compiled many chemical physics textbooks. As a poet, he wrote many poems in Provence in southern France, and was affectionately called "Gadfly Poet" by local people. In addition, he translated the works of some Provencal poets into French. In his spare time, he also creates some ditties with his small mouth. However, among Fables' works, Insect is the longest, most important and most famous one. This work not only shows his talent and literary talent in scientific observation and research, but also conveys his humanistic spirit and unparalleled love for life to readers.
