***
I never cease to wonder
at Golden Gate Park.
There are certainly
no public parks in the
Northern Hemisphere
to compare with it.
Kew Gardens, the
Bois de Boulogne,
the Pincio, look small,
worn and starved in comparison. The great
Chicago parks have
size, but they are unimaginatively
landscaped. The
mixing of dark and
light, slender and
round trees, the
interplay of lawn and
foliage and water,
the long vistas and
sharp details — these
are unequalled by anything I have
ever seen.
— Kenneth Rexroth
