Memory trolls for submerged words. Here are the two quotations I have used at the BarrowDowns:
I went looking for the garden of my mother and lo! I found my own.
Never speak to women/Unless you speak of flowers
illustrate your garden/and walk with them past fountains
but never let them carry your secrets/they are lapses
The first I found on a stone plague in a garden centre; the second is from Jane Urquhart, Some Other Garden.
