“I like well-made and well-marked paths, well-built walls, well-defined changes in level. I like pools and canals, paved sitting places and a good garden house in which to picnic or take a nap. I like brickwork and ashlar and coursed dry walling, a well-timbered bridge, well-designed wooden gates, simple wrought iron balustrading or a wooden grille through which to peer. I like bands of round cobblestones quartering a graveled space, a courtyard of granite setts, painted shutters, well-made wooden doors, trelliswork of good proportion and, rarest of all these, good garden furniture, seats and benches in wood and metal, tables off stone or slate, simple lanterns and effective scrapers.”
