The Garden of Cyrus : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Garden of Cyrus ''The Garden of Cyrus'', or ''The Quincuncial Lozenge, or Network Plantations of the Ancients, naturally, artificially, mystically considered'', is a discourse written by Sir Thomas Browne. It was first published in 1658, in conjunction with its diptych companion, ''Urn-Burial''. In modern times it has been recognised as Browne's major literary contribution to Hermetic wisdom. ==Overview== ''The Garden of Cyrus'' is Browne's Neoplatonic and Neopythagorean vision of the interconnection of art and nature via various symbols, primarily the number five and the quincunx pattern, along with their variants, the figure X and lattice design. Its slender, but compressed pages of imagery, symbolism and associative thought are exemplary of Sir Thomas Browne's understanding of Hermetic philosophy and its fundamental quest, namely, proof of the wisdom of God, through advocation of intelligent design. The Discourse also includes early recorded usage of the words 'prototype' and 'archetype' in the English language.
