John Stathatos, Parc André Citroën, Paris
Next, a spacious, wonderful garden, wherein whatsoever plant the sun of divers climate, or the earth out of divers moulds, either wild or by the culture of man brought forth, may be … set and cherished: this garden to be built about with rooms to stable in all rare beasts and to cage in all rare birds; with two lakes adjoining, the one of fresh water and the other of salt, for like variety of fishes. And so you may have in small compass a model of the universal nature made private.
Francis Bacon, Gesta Grayorum (1594)
