Alexander Smith quotes about
My garden, with its silence and pulses of fragrance that come and go on the airy undulations, affects me like sweet music. Care stops at the gates, and gazes at me wistfully through the bars.
In my garden I spend my days; in my library I spend my nights.
In my garden, care stops at the gate and gazes at me wistfully through the bars.
How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.
