RELATIONS OF TEEES TO ORNAMENT. 387 



Neither do you find seclusion here. There are no little 

 cosey retreats, so frequent on the rustic farm, among the 

 wild shrubbery, no solitary foot-paths leading you to 

 sunny arbors frequented by birds and wild flowers, then 

 down into thickets of roses and clematis ; all here is 

 open and smooth and bald and rounded and graded, not a 

 single scene is beheld that does not remind you how 

 closely allied are taste and barbarism.
