Like thestage-play, the garden-play brings its beholder back at the very last, by a sweet reversion, to the point from which it started. The truegarden-lover gardens not mainly for the passer-by, but rather forhimself and the friends who come to see him. Even when he treads hisgarden paths alone he is a pleased and welcome visitor to himself, andshows his garden to himself as to a visitor. Hence there is always atlast a turning back to the house or to the front entrance, and _this_ isthe play's... final lines, the last grouping of the players, the relief ofall tension and the descent of the curtain.
[Illustration: " . . . Climaxes to be got by superiority of stature, bydarkness and breadth of foliage and by splendor of bloom belong at itsfar end. " Everything in this photograph was planted by the amateur gardener exceptthe pine-trees in perspective. ] One point farther in this direction and we may give our hard-workedanalogy a respite. It is this: as those who make and present a playtake great pains that, by flashes of revelation to eye and to ear, thesecrets most unguessed by the characters in the piece shall be earlyrevealed to the audience and persistently pressed upon its attention, soshould the planting of a garden be; that, as if quite without thegardener's or the garden's knowledge, always, to the eye, nostril orear, some clear disclosure of charm still remote may beckon and lureacross easy and tempting distances from nook to nook of the smallgarden, or from alley to alley and from glade to glade of the large one.
