Table of Contents Gardens: Revealing the State of Our Minds Table of Contents

 
  1. There was some mysterious quality, some attraction which drew him to these natural objects.
  2. On the third day, the first story concerns Masetto, an astute peasant and ?excellent gardener?
  3. This talk of course makes the Duke of Athens anxious to see (and once he's seen) to experience the beauty of Alatiel.
  4. Even Augustine's experiences parallel these conclusions. Augustine steals the pears in the dark of night, when no one can see him.
  5. Both Augustine and the Brigata are restoring something they could not find at home.
  6. It is tempting to ask at this point: Why build gardens then if brat kids are going to steal pears from them and mischievous wives are going to cuckold their husbands in them?

Abstract

A garden is a simple place, a small escape from the home, where one can roam at leisure. But there is more, something about its sensuousness gives rise to deeper feelings. In the Decameron and in Augustine's Confessions gardens become representative of the consequences of beauty. But they also serve as catalysts of curiousity, pleasant conversation and as places of renewal in their spring freshness
