119 a thick shade from the day that they were planted.
I have seen basons changed into cascades, water* falls into still ponds^ the dwellings of carps adorned with the finest sculpture and gilding, and, when finished, converted again into bowling-greens ; and besides all this, the prodigious machine, with its immense aqueducts, and enormous (^onduits and reservoirs.^ To all this, I can add that I have seen Marly, a narrow village confined by a hill on one ^de and the river on the other, looking... upon a large plain of melancholy flatness, and ^bearing no vestige of having once been the seat of a mo- narch's magnificence. The whole building, and its accompaniments, have disappeared. Of all the works connected with the royal residences, how- ever, the most gigantic and absurd, was the at* tempt to bring water to Versailles. As Lewis had committed the blunder of building in a place with- out water, he proposed to remedy his mistake by ccmveying the river eight leagues, by a new chan- nel, to adorn his park.
