If a picturesque garden can be made into a country of illusions, why should we refuse to do it? Illusions only provide enjoyment; if liberty guides them, let art direct them, and one will never be far from nature. Nature is varied according to climate; let us try through illusion also to vary climates, or rather to banish the memory of our own; let us carry into our gardens the scene-changes of the Opera; let us show in a real situation, what the most clever painters might provide as decorations — all times and all places. Carmontelle, Jardin de Monceau, 1779

Jardin de Monceau 的大都会时光

如果一个风景如画的花园可以变成一个幻想的国度,我们为什么要拒​​绝呢?幻觉只提供享受;如果自由引导他们,让艺术引导他们,那么人们就永远不会远离自然。大自然因气候而异;让我们也尝试通过幻觉来改变气候,或者更确切地说是消除我们自己的记忆;让我们把歌剧的场景变化带入我们的花园;让我们在真实情况下展示,最聪明的画家可能会提供什么作为装饰——无论何时何地。Carmontelle,蒙索花园,1779 年
