Note 31 — SPRING
Reading edition
See notably the Stanze of Politian, where one will find nearly all the details of Botticelli's picture; the shady grove, the flowery meadow, even the attitudes and the garments of the personages. Is it not a figure of Botticelli's which is thus described:
"She is white and white is her robe, All painted with flowers, roses, and blades of grass."
