For the garden is not only a place in which to make things grow
and to display the beautiful flowers of the earth,
but a place that should accord with the various moods
of its admirers. It should be a place in which
to hold light banter, a place in which to laugh,
and, besides, should have a hidden corner in which to weep.
But above all, perhaps, it should be a place of sweet scent and sentiment.
from Gardens Near the Sea by Alice Lounsberry, 1910
