• "Brown, have been somewhat too resolutely robbed of the formal avenues, clipped hedges, and other topiarian adjuncts which comport so well with the starch prudery of things Elizabethan; but they are still replete with grotto, fountain, labyrinth, and alcove -- a very paradise for the more court-bred rank of sylphs, and the gentler elves of Queen Titania."
