SHARAWADGITheir greatest reach of Imagination is employed in contriving Figures, where the Beauty shall be great and strike the Eye,
but without any order or disposition of parts, that shall be commonly or easily observ'd. And though we have hardly any Notion of this sort of Beauty, yet they have a particular word to express it; and when they find it hit their eye at first
sight, they say the Sharawadgi is fine or admirable ...
William Temple, The Gardens of Epicurus, 1665
FREEDOM
... critic learning flourished most in France;The rules a nation, born to serve, obeys,
And Boileau still in right of Horace sways, But we, brave Britons, foreign laws despise ..
Alexander Pope, Essay on Criticism, 1711
THE GENIUS OF THE PLACE
Consult the Genius of the Place in all;That tells the Waters or to rise or fall,
Or helps th'ambitious Hill the heav'n to scale,Or scoops in circling theatres the vale,
Calls in the Country, catches opening glades,Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades,
Now breaks or now directs, th'intending Lines;Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs.
Alexander Pope
UNADORNED NATURE
There is certainly something in the amiable simplicity of unadorned nature, that spreads over the mind a more noble sort of tranquillity, and a loftier sensation of pleasure, than can be raised
from the nicer scenes of art ... This was the taste of the ancients in their gardens, as we may
discover from the descriptions extant of them.
