"Hortus Inclusus" by John Ruskin is a compilation of heartfelt letters written to the author's cherished friends, the "Sister Ladies of the Thwaite," during joyful times. The letters explore themes of nature's splendor, the significance of beauty, and deeply personal emotions. Ruskin's words paint a picture of the ladies' peaceful lives and their benevolent impact on their village, contrasting this with Ruskin's struggles and feelings of sadness, particularly after a grievous loss. These messages, rich with gratitude and a sense of life's fleeting nature, offer intimate glimpses into Ruskin's thoughts on art, relationships, and our world.
