On Friday, Susan, Elias, and I took the S-Bahn from Steinebach to Munich and went to see the gardens at
Schloss Nymphenburg. We observed man's control over nature in the expansive and symmetric French gardens, as well as man's ability to let nature look natural in the artfully designed English gardens. We imagined that both environments afforded wonderful opportunities for forbidden trysts, tentative kisses, and poignant encounters between beautifully dressed but emotionally stifled lovers on terraces overlooking ponds under starlit skies with the sounds of string orchestras and the idle chatter of the Bavarian elite wafting through the glass doors of pavilion ballrooms.
We also found what could very well have been the visual inspiration for the winged monkeys and the cowardly lion in
The Wizard of Oz.
