Pagina v - A THING of beauty is a joy for ever : Its loveliness increases ; it will never Pass into nothingness ; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Pagina 95 - Art should be pretty obviously expressed in that part of every garden which is in the immediate vicinity of the house, and may sometimes retain its prominence throughout the whole place. In the latter case, terraces, straight lines of walks, avenues of trees or shrubs, rows of flowerbeds, and geometrical figures, with all kinds of architectural ornaments, will prevail. Considerable dignity of character may certainly thus be acquired ; and, if well sustained, the expression of high art will be a very...
Pagina 277 - Any great elevation should never be sought in small rockeries. This would be inconsistent with their breadth, and would render them too prominent and artificial. They should not be carried higher than the point at which they can be well supported and backed with a broad mass of earth and vegetation. Additional height may sometimes be given, if desired, by excavating into a hollow the base from which they spring.
Pagina 385 - ... the plants out of the ground as short a time as possible ; and the roots should be preserved and spread out with the utmost care.
Pagina 49 - Few characteristics of a garden contribute more to render it agreeable than snugness and seclusion. They serve to make it appear peculiarly one's own, converting it into a kind of sanctum. A place that has neither of these qualities might almost as well be public property. Those who love their garden often want to walk, work, ruminate, read, romp, or examine the various changes and developments of Nature in it ; and to do so unobserved. 3 All that attaches us to a garden, and renders it a delightful...
Pagina 177 - Gardening and architecture, like all the fine arts, have much in common. And that department of architecture which belongs more exclusively to the garden has, especially, a great affinity with gardening in its broader principles. In fact, there is much more relation between the two than is usually admitted, or than the ordinary products of practitioners in either art would at all justify us in believing.
Pagina 30 - ... character ; or, as in the old system of hedging in particular portions, may simply be intended to change the scene suddenly, or furnish certain lines which are probably supposed to accord with the general character of the house. Not only, however, arc those formal divisions mostly inadmissible in a limited space, but all kinds of separating lines, though varied and broken in the most artful manner, must be condemned, as a rule, unless where the place is tolerably large. These remarks of course...
Pagina 178 - ... materials with which it has to deal, constitutes it a distinctive art. And garden architecture has lineaments of its own so decidedly removed from those of house architecture, and so seldom studied, that the ordinary architectural practitioner is at sea the moment he enters the region of the garden. It is less a matter of rule and measurement.
Pagina 372 - And the more nearly they approach to the realisation of these things, the more they will contribute to comfort and ease. Dryness can be attained in a walk by shaping the ground properly in forming it, by rounding it up slightly in the middle, by giving it a decided fall in some direction, and placing gratings and lodges for water at the lowest points ; and by using suitable materials, both for the foundation and the surface. In the ground formation of a walk or drive (for the latter may be regarded...
Pagina 28 - ... attained. One thing after another is, at different times, observed and liked, in some similar place that is visited, and each is successively wished to be transferred to the observer's own garden, without regard to its fitness for the locality, or its relation to what has previously been done.
