ITALIAN GARDENS OF THE RENAISSANCE 



roses and clusters of ripe pomegranates, blue-breasted 

 peacocks trailing their starry plumes over green lawns 

 and marble balustrades, and angels tending the flowers 

 of this new Eden, or dancing forward with their lap 

 full of roses. It is the garden of Careggi transformed 

 into a vision of Paradise.
