"God Almightie first Planted a Garden, and indeed it is the Purest of 
Human pleasures. It is the Greatest Refreshment to the Spirits of Man; 
without which Buildings and Palaces are but Grosse Handy works : And a 
man shall ever see that when Ages grow to Civility and Elegancie, Men 
come to Build Stately rather than to Garden Finely; As if Gardening were 
the Greater Perfection.” — Bacon.
