E. T. Cook was an influential figure in the realm of horticulture and garden design during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his work 'Trees and Shrubs for English Gardens,' which provided comprehensive guidance on the selection and cultivation of various plant species suited to the English climate. Cook's expertise in botany and landscape design made his writings essential resources for both amateur gardeners and professional landscapers alike. His contributions to gardening literature were significant in promoting an appreciation for the aesthetic and practical aspects of garden design. Cook's emphasis on the importance of trees and shrubs in creating harmonious outdoor spaces reflected the growing interest in gardening as both an art form and a means of enhancing the natural beauty of the English landscape. His legacy continues to influence gardening practices and literature, as his works remain a reference point for those interested in horticulture and landscape architecture.
“There have been nightsI’ve shared a twin bed with himand still couldn’t get close enough.Then there have been nightsspent in a king bed where I’ve feltas though his annoying ass was stillin my personal space.We e b b and f l o w.But there’s no one else I’d rathercrash into every night whenthe tide hits its inevitable peak.””
“Sometimes you don’t realize you are h o l d i n g yourself together until you aren’t anymore. Suddenly, you’re not the same person you thought you were j u s t m o m e n t s before. No. You are not okay. You are not fine. But you will be. When I say, you will be okay, I do not mean you will wake up one day and be the same person you were before the pain. Pain changes a person. But, you will discover a new version of yourself. One who has experienced the great sadness that only follows a great loss. One who knows the value of a good cry. One who knows that even after the coldest of winters, spring will still arrive.””
