Hortus Inclusus - Messages from the Wood to the Garden Sent in Happy Days to the Sister Ladies of the Thwaite Coniston

John Ruskin

Summary

The following book is a collection of letters exchanged between John Ruskin and Susanna Beever. They were friends, and eventually were buried next to each other upon their deaths. As the editor of the book puts it, "The letters themselves are the fruit of the most beautiful friendship I have ever been permitted to witness, a friendship so unique in some aspects of it, so sacred in all, that I may only give it the praise of silence. I count myself happy to have been allowed to throw open to all wise and quiet souls the portals of this Armida's Garden, where there are no spells save those woven by love, and no magic save that of grace and kindliness."
