Présentation de l'éditeur
Mio picciol orto A me sei vigna, ecampo, eselva, eprato. BaldL TPART I. AUTUMN. SECTION I. I. I HIS is its great, its only merit It is a hortus conclusus, et disseptus. Three high walls bound it, north, south, and west; and on the east are lofty stables, effectually shutting out all possibility of being seen by too curious eyes. It is a secluded spot, and in one particular angle, at the western end, is walled mby high trees and shrubs, and you see only leafage and grasses, and the eye of God looking through the interminable azure. The monks gardens bound it on the northern side; and here, in the long summer evenings, I hear the brothers chaunting in alternate strophes the Rosary of Mary. The sounds come over and through my garden wall, and they are muffled into a sweet, dreamy monotone of musical prayer. But the monks never look over my garden wall, because they are incurious, and because there is not much to be seen. For I cannot employ a professional gardener, and it is my own very limited knowledge, but great love for flowers the sweetest things God has made, and forgot to put a soul in and the obedient handiwork of a humble laborer, that keeps my garden always clean and bright, and some are kind enough to say, beautiful. And we have sycamores, and pines, and firs; and laburnum, and laurel, and lime, and lilac; and my garden is buried, deep as a well, beneath dusky walls of forest trees, beeches and elms and oaks, that rival in sublimity and altitude their classic brethren of Lebanon, leaving but the tiniest margin of blue mountain, stretching sierra-like between them and the stars.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the mysteries of the universe and the human condition through the lens of a contemplative garden. The author invites us to ponder the intricate workings of nature, from the delicate unfolding of flowers to the vast expanse of the cosmos. Drawing upon the insights of philosophers like Schelling, Plato, and Aristotle, the author challenges us to consider the universal laws that govern existence, particularly the interplay of expansion and repression. This exploration touches upon themes of creation, intuition, faith, and the eternal struggle between the forces of progress and decay. The book delves into the historical and philosophical context of these ideas, tracing their development from ancient Greek thought to the scholasticism of the Middle Ages. Ultimately, this book offers a rich and thought-provoking meditation on the nature of reality, the search for truth, and the enduring power of the human spirit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
