MAY 6TH MARVELL'S GARDEN POEMS

When we were talking on Monday about the different kinds of gardens, I distinguished between 18th-century neo-classic gardens like Versailles, in which everything is artfully and geometrically arranged by the hand of man, and romantic gardens, in which nature is allowed to take its course.

I also suggested that an easy way to find examples was to look at golf courses, which are enormous gardens.  Scottish golf courses are pretty much landscapes that are left alone or only minimally shaped, and American golf courses tend to be the products of landscape architecture lavishly applied.  Here are two examples:
