(...)"Cresciuto in simili stranezzeè evidente che io ami quasi tutti i giardini, e follemente quelli chiusi ed inviolabili, le cui segrete bellezze solo a pochissimi sono concesse."
"And in the most beautiful hour of the day, I mean five in the afternoon, when (...) a light mist brings the infinite closer to certain things, I found myself by superior decision before your wonderful house". (...)"Growing up in such oddities, it is evident that I love almost all gardens, and madly those closed and inviolable, whose secret beauties are granted only to a very few."
