Statuary and Follies:

Punctuating the Reader Experience

Within the reassurance provided by guideposts and repetition, both hypertexts and gardens benefit from punctuation -- from exceptional elements injected that encourage readers to pause, to reflect, to look again. Follies -- unexpected pagodas and pavilions hidden in English gardens -- throw the organic art of the garden into sharper relief through their constructed contrast.
