"The traveler returning from Italy, with eyes and imagination full of the ineffable Italian garden-magic, knows vaguely that the enchantment exists: that he has been under its spell, and that it is more potent, more enduring, more intoxicating to every sense than the most elaborate and glowing effects of modern horticulture; but he may not have found the key to the mystery...." – Edith Wharton 1903 |
