forms is produced, which no continued 

 wood or grove, however broken, can fur- 

 nish. These forms cannot all be equally 

 agreeable, and too anxious a solicitude 

 to make them everywhere pleasing may, 

 perhaps, prevent their being ever beau- 

 tiful. 



The effect must often be left to chance ; 

 but it should be studiously consulted 

 from a few principal points of view ; and 

 it is easy to make any recess, any promi- 

 nence, any figure in the outline, by 

 clumps thus advancing before, or retiring 

 behind one another. Whateley.
