Seite 393 - What I have said, of the best forms of gardens, is meant only of such as are in some sort regular; for there may be other forms wholly irregular that may, for aught I know, have more beauty than any of the others ; but they must owe it to some extraordinary dispositions of nature in the seat, or some great race of fancy or judgment in the contrivance, which may reduce many disagreeing parts into some figure, which shall yet, upon the whole, be very agreeable.
Seite 131 - Unpropp'd by staff, support me to behold How Nature, to her Maker's mandate true, Calls Spring's impartial heralds to the view, The snow-drop pale, the crocus spik'd with gold ; And still (thank Heaven) if I not falsely deem, My lyre, yet vocal, freely can afford Strains not discordant to each moral theme Fair Truth inspires, and aid me to record (Best of poetic...
