“A garden is like those pernicious machineries we read of, every month, in the newspapers, which catch a mans coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg, and his whole body to irresistible destruction.”

The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
