The garden of experience . manymore, pleasant, quiet, generous friends to housein a garden. One of our very special friends has an understand-ing of herb-tea ; so various offerings transpire asbed-time approaches; generally about the timethat I am to be found seated before a vast blueflame in which I patiently revolve a brass globe fullof pale green coffee beans roasting for the morrowsbreakfast ; such offerings as a silver tankard ofyarrow-tea for a maiden who cherishes her com-plexion ; a tall Venetian goblet dusted with goldwherein sparkles lime-tea to soothe the Art Criticto sleep.
