This beauty of association can hardly be AR 

 thought to come within the scope of the artist's 

 work. It is a spiritual quality. It is a matter 

 for spiritual perception rather than visual. It 

 must come with the growth of the garden. It 

 will be part of its history. But if the architect 

 of the garden has the soul of the poet, as he 

 must have to be an artist at all, he will know 

 how to give the whole an atmosphere in which 

 such sentiments will be at home. 



After all, the real lover of the garden will 

 make it with a view to intimate friendship with 

 the living things there. The true lover of 

 nature will know my meaning. Others will 

 not. There are those whose eyes are wide open 

 and they see accurately and quickly, but the 

 soul is closed. Some of us want a chance of 

 dreaming. There are those who care little or 

 nothing at all for what cannot be seen with 

 eyes, touched with hands, and expressed in 

 color. Others value the numberless shades of 

 feeling which come to them as they linger 

 among the things of the garden.
