| Mine! |

| Some are well built, others ... |
||||
| ".. any summerhouse, made of what's found in the shed and other junk, obeying nothing
but the owner's fantasy, is a shout of joy." |

| Charles Dicken's Sam Weller:- |
||||
| "I shall be a gentleman myself one of these days perhaps, with a pipe in my mouth and
a summer-house in the back garden. ..." |
||||
| William Cowper:- |
||||
| "I have at length, my cousin, found my way into my summer abode ... I will only say
that I am writing in a bandbox, situated at least in my account delightfully ... It
is a summerhouse not much bgger than a sedan chair, the door of which opens into the
garden which is now crowded with roses, pinks and honeysuckles, and the window into
my neighbours orchard. It formerly served an apothecary, now dead, as a smoking-room,
and under my feet is a trap-door which once covered a hole in the ground where he
kept his bottles. At present however it is dedicated to sublimer uses. Having lined
it with garden mats, and furnished it with a table and two chairs, here I write all
that I write in summer-time, whether to the public or to my friends. It is secure
from all noise, and a refuge from all intrusions ... A poet's retreat is sacred." |
