A garden must be looked into, and dressed as the body.

A garden must be looked into, and dressed as the body.

Summary

This quote suggests that tending to a garden is similar to taking care of one's body. Just as we must actively look into a garden - observe, trim, nurture - in order for it to flourish, we must also invest time and effort into maintaining our physical well-being. Just as we dress our bodies with care, dressing a garden with the right plants, decorations, and arrangements is essential for creating a visually appealing and harmonious space. This quote reminds us of the importance of actively engaging with and beautifying both our external surroundings and ourselves.
