William Rothenstein, fully Sir William Rothenstein

How often I admire the taste shown in the garden which, within the house, may be indifferent. Here is an art which is today probably more perfect than at any previous time, one which does not break with the past, while it brings a sense of comely order, and a radiant beauty, to cottage and manor alike.

There are fashions in immortality as there are trivial fashions. Books and pictures read differently to different generations.
