Here was an Englishman doing his duty, alone and at the instant peril of his life ; Digitized by Google.
FORMATION OF A GARDEN 97 yet still he loved his garden. The garden was a yet more pathetic vision than the palace. The palace accepted its doom mutely; the garden strove against it. Untrimmed, unwatered, the oranges and citrons still struggled to bear their little hard green knobs, as if they had been full ripe fruit. The pomegranates put out their vermilion star-flowers, but the fruit was s...mall and woody and juiceless. The figs bore better, but they too were small and without vigour.
Rankly overgrown with dhurra, a vine still trailed over a low roof its pale leaves and limp tendrils, but yielded not a sign of grapes. It was all green, and so far vivid and refreshing after Omdurman. But it was the green of nature, not of cultivation; leaves grew large, and fruit grew small and dwindled away. Reluctantly, despairingly, Gordon's garden was dropping back to wilderness. And in the middle of the defeated fruit-trees grew rankly the hateful Sodom apple, the poisonous herald of desolation/' Digitized by Google CHAPTER VI The Component Parts of a Garden 11 In the royal ordering of gardrnj there ought to he gardens for all the months of the year.** — Lord Bacon.
