THE LOWER TERRACE 
FAULKNER FARM 
in the midst of untrammelled nature with 
nothing to tie it down and bind it into its en¬ 
vironment. Bv clipped, flat planes of turf, 
terrace walls and balustrades and steps, col¬ 
umns and arbours and colonnades, pools and 
fountains, cropped shrubs and well-groomed 
trees, the architecture insinuates itself into 
the surrounding nature while this in its turn 
creeps delicately towards the central archi¬ 
tecture, where it finally ceases. I he old re¬ 
sults were like nothing but random chords 
struck on a piano forte, the new are like some 
enthralling modulation from a major to a 
minor key.
