Admiration of nature as ample scene for meditation, vast landscapes expose the transitoriness of man’s control over nature, relate to the unconscious. Nature becomes an object of reverence rather than exploitation. Natural descriptions prompt moral reflections on the human situation. James Thomson: ‘I know no subject more elevating, more amusing, more ready to awake the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment, than the works of Nature. Where can we meet with such variety, such beauty, such magnificence? All that enlarges and transports the soul?’ The emergence of the natural scene is at the same time the discovery of new metaphors for the power of mind. The movement away from a poetry of social reality is a movement toward less conscious aspects of the mind. the artfully designed garden landscape with purpose built miniature temples or shrines a search for authentic images of nature that are too vast or free to be controlled by man, e.g. an Alpine scenery a passion for ancient or medieval ruins. The result: on the one hand what Johnson calls ‘a flattering notion of self-sufficiency’, on the other hand a sense of human limitation.
