Large or small, [the garden] should be orderly and rich. It should be well fenced from the outside world. It should by no means imitate either the willfulness or the wildness of nature, but should look like a thing never to be seen except near the house. It should, in fact, look like part of the house.
William MorrisIf a chap can't compose an epic poem while he's weaving tapestry, he had better shut up, he'll never do any good at all.
