On the political mobilization of nature in seventeenth-century French formal gardens.

Could anything possibly be more obscure?

And, yet, the importance of this phenomenon should not be underestimated. The formal garden, one of the most disturbing examples of man's obsession of tailoring nature to fit his own narrow, symmetrical, consumption-orientated mind, is in dire need of re-evaluating. As any human being compos mentis is aware, nature's political mobility seeks to achieve this. 

Ne humanas crede.

Think about it.
