Excerpt from Lotus-Eating: A Summer Book
Where could a man meet the summer more pleasantly than in the fragrant silence of a garden whence have, emanated the most practical and poetic suggestions toward the greater dignity, comfort and elegance of country life? If the aspect of our landscape yearly improves, in the beauty of the houses, and in tasteful and picturesque rural treatment, our enjoyment of it will be an obligation to Mr. Downing.
