‘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 )> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FS301

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.
