russell page--bedside gardening



''andre malraux once spoke to me of classical chinese books on landscape gardening and of how the chinese landscape maker strove above all that his garden should reflect and symbolize not only the changes of the seasons but the passage of each day. he wondered whether it was possible even in china to induce the morning and evening mists to linger over shallow lotus-ponds and strange shaped rocks.''
