Once in those very early days my brother brought into the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden or a toy forest. that was the first beauty i ever knew. what the real garden had failed to do, the toy garden did. it made me aware of nature-not, indeed, as a storehouse of forms and colors but as something cool, dewy, fresh, exuberant....as long as i live my imagination of paradise will retain something of my brother's toy garden.
