Painter's Palette' (Persicaria virginiana)

The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music,
of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot
thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human;
and if you are not human, you don't have a soul.
- Thomas Moore, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, 1996, p. 101
