‘One
day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four this sentence seemed to form
in my head, without my willing it, much as sentences form when we are
half-asleep, ‘Hammer your thoughts into unity’.
For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested all I did
by that sentence [...]” William Butler Yeats (cited in Frank Tuohy, Yeats <,
1976, p.51 )

Landscape architecture: compare Taniguchi garden to Ft. Worth Japanese garden, Versailles, Blenheim, etc. Check out previous classes at work here on our web site. Also, for extra credit you might want to check out the Austin Nature center and the Hartman Prehistoric Garden, both near the oriental garden, and Philosopher's Rock --the statues of Texas nature writers, Dobie, Bedichek, and Webb, in front of the swimming pool -- and the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. Check out pictures of all these places on our web site.
