Lost
 |
William Blake’s Exuberance is beauty. Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed. If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man, as it is, infinite. No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. One thought fills immensity. The man who never in his mind and thoughts traveled to heaven is no artist. The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. The true method of knowledge is experiment. You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. What is now proved was once only imagined. To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour. |

Borda Garden
 |
The Borda Garden is located near the cathedral of Cuernavaca. Originally, this was a house bought by José de la Borda, the mining magnate of Taxco in the mid-eighteenth century. Later, his son, Manuel de Borda y Verdugo, transformed the grounds of the house into gardens filled with flower and fruit trees to satisfy his passion for botany. These gardens also contain a number of fountains and an artificial lake that were completed in 1783. The complex also contains lodgings, offices, a restaurant, and a nightclub. In 1865, this was the summer home of Emperor Maximilian I and his wife Carlota Amalia. It hosted major political soirees in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as those sponsored by Porfirio Díaz and Emiliano Zapata. Today the area is a public park where the gardens have been maintained and it is possible to take a short boat ride on the lake. The house has been converted into a museum. Six of its halls are dedicated to temporary exhibits while the other seven are devoted to recreating the characteristics of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. (Wiki) |
