'Bavarian gentians, big and dark, only dark/ darkening the daytime, torch-like, with the smoking blueness of Pluto's gloom'... DH Lawrence's 'Bavarian Gentian', accompanied here by Miss Smith's illustration of the plant from Studies of Flowers from Nature (1820) is one of the finest poems among the 72 pieces - poetry and prose - in a personal selection that ranges from Shakespeare to Theodore Roethke. Each poem or extract is illustrated with a botanical print from the RHS's Lindley Library.
