His eyes were as sharp as those of any young man, and he did his reading and writing without an eye-glass. Even his grafting he did without an artificial help to his vision. I remembered well the old custom for guests arriving at his house: coach and servants had to be left at the inn, and dinner had to be ordered there.

I use the term advisedly for the very absence of natural landscape within a roofed-in city had resulted in greater development of the artificial product. The earlier efforts, few of which remained unaltered, were more inclined toward imitation of Nature as it exists in the world of sun and rocks and rain.
Great cataracts and artificial cascades often form the background to a great building or colossal statue.
