HA-HA is a sunk fence, being placed 

 at the bottom of a deep and spreading 

 ditch, either to avoid any interruption 

 to, an expanse of surface, or to let in a 

 desired prospect. As all deceptions 

 are unsatisfactory to good taste, and as 

 when viewed lengthwise these fences 

 are formal and displeasing, they ought 

 never to be adopted except in extreme 

 cases. ijwoft !
