Large or small, [the garden] should be orderly and rich. It should be well fenced from the outside world. It should by no means imitate either the willfulness or the wildness of nature, but should look like a thing never to be seen except near the house. It should, in fact, look like part of the house.
William Morris
Image
The heart desires, the hand refrains. The Godhead fires, the soul attains.

Slayer of the winter, art thou here again? O welcome, thou that bring'st the summer nigh! The bitter wind makes not the victory vain. Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky.
William Morris
Image
It is for him that is lonely or in prison to dream of fellowship, but for him that is of a fellowship to do and not to dream.
William Morris
Image
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die that is to say, civilization will die.
William Morris
Image
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed art has remembered the people, because they created.
