"An ancient Gothic stone bridge urges us on to the regal, yet warm and welcoming manor house. In romantic old England, when walking tours were all the vogue, the poet Wordsworth often stopped to accept the hospitality of a country house. At such a retreat as this, refreshed and inspired, he may have penned the immortal lines of 'Tintern Abbey'. "Certainly, the poet in all of us takes comfort in a delightful haven of rest like the cozy gazebo on the left. As I pause to let the spirit of the season wash over me, I'm seized by an impulse to explore the fabulous gardens that lie beyond the great house. That's just what we'll do in the third Spring Gate print, which is coming to reward the romantic in all of us." ........................................-- Thomas Kinkade
