William Shenstone Quote
In designing a house and gardens, it is happy when there is an opportunity of maintaining a subordination of parts; the house so luckily place as to exhibit a view of the whole design. I have sometimes thought that there was room for it to resemble a epic or dramatic poem.
The Works in Verse and Prose, of William Shenstone, Esq: In Two Volumes, with Decorations (ed. 1765)
