There are also descriptive passages, like the description of the palaces of Neptune and the Samorim of Calicute, the locus amoenus of the Island of Love (Canto IX), the dinner in the palace of Thetis (Canto X), and Gama's cloth (end of Canto II). Sometimes these descriptions are like a slide show, in which someone shows each of the things described there; examples include the geographic start of Gama's speech to the king of Melinde, certain sculptures of the palaces of Neptune and the Samorim, the speech of Paulo da Gama to the Catual, and the Machine of the World ( Máquina do Mundo). The narration concludes with an epilogue, starting in stanza 145 of canto X. The most important part of Os Lusíadas, the arrival in India, was placed at the point in the poem that divides the work according to the golden section at the beginning of Canto VII.

After the Final Days were overcome, Hoary Boulder and Coultenet Dailebaure traveled to Corvos to help ease tensions between the Corvosi and Garleans they were sure would flare up in the wake of the empire's collapse.

The locus amoenus was a popular theme in the works of such Renaissance figures as Ariosto and Tasso. [10] The most prevalent mature trees at Tifft are shallow rooting and short-lived, making them vulnerable to strong winds coming off Lake Erie. In an effort to diversify and protect the landscape and tree canopy at the Preserve, more than 2,000 long-lived native species were planted between 2009 and 2015 to enhance tree regeneration and to provide a more diverse and sustainable ecosystem. These trees are young and vulnerable, especially to deer and beaver, and require special protection in the form of enclosures surrounding the trunks. Two scouts sent by Vasco da Gama are fooled by a fake altar created by Bacchus into thinking that there are Christians among the Muslims. Thus, the explorers are lured into an ambush but successfully survive with the aid of Venus. Venus pleads with her father Jove, who predicts great fortunes for the Portuguese in the east.

Ryan Villamael (b. 1987), as the foremost artist working with paper as sculptural medium, has been exploring themes, tensions, and trajectories of his chosen material since his first solo exhibition, Cut Felt, a decade ago at Silverlens, which currently represents him. Beginning with a tactile and intuitive approach into one of the most delicate—and historically enduring—human inventions, which entailed cutting out shapes, details, and holes without a pre-planned design and resulted in a staggering array of abstract metamorphoses, Villamael then shifted his attention to how paper could become a locus of multiple and overlapping meanings, through which ideas on the natural world, domestic sphere, and urban landscape may be negotiated. After an appeal by the poet to Calliope, the Greek muse of epic poetry, Vasco da Gama begins to narrate the history of Portugal. He starts by referring to the situation of Portugal in Europe and the legendary story of Lusus and Viriathus. This is followed by passages on the meaning of Portuguese nationality and then by an enumeration of the warrior deeds of the 1st Dynasty kings, from Dom Afonso Henriques to Dom Fernando. Piénsese como perfecto ejemplo de estas dos realidades en el cuadro del Bosco El jardín de las delicias : en él, se puede ver al ser humano atrapado entre los dos grandes mundos cristianos, es decir, el cielo y la tierra, el pecado y la gracia, la salvación o la condena; en fin: entre el locus amoenus idílico y el locus amoenus apócrifo. As an extreme example see Diderot’s Encyclopédie in which the entry “Christianity” refers the reader to “Cannibalism.”The sculptures in Locus Amoenus, 2016, were created by Roberley Bell, whose work regularly explores aspects of our environment. The works are designed to draw attention to the significant human interventions necessary to protect and maintain the fragile ecosystem at the Tifft Nature Preserve.
