The Cultural Gardens constitute a verdant symbol of the perpetual renewal of the human spirit through past cultures and future aspirations. <\/p>\n

As divergent elements of an harmonious whole, they represent democracy and brotherhood as set forth in the American ideal. <\/p>\n

They are testimony to the faith of their founders that in the visions of poet and prophet, of artist and musician, are after all to be found the supreme rea\u00adlities of history, and that it is the dreams of men which forge the destinies of nations. <\/p>\n

If, as has been said, imagination rules the world, clear recognition of the place of those who have con\u00adsistently envisioned the upbuilding of human civili\u00adzation, will bring speedier realization of their dream and ultimate fulfillment. <\/p>\n

The \u201cChoir Invisible<\/span>, whose music is the gladness of the world,\u201d may be heard without jarring, dis\u00adcordant influences in the Cleveland Cultural Gar\u00addens. <\/p>\n

Like a green diadem crowning the trail of hope to world peace, these gardens recall Emerson\u2019s lines on the Parthenon and other man-made masterpieces of the earth: <\/p>\n

\u201cFor out of Thought\u2019s interior sphere <\/p>\n

These wonders rose to upper air;<\/p>\n

And Nature gladly gave them place, <\/p>\n

Adopted them into her race;<\/p>\n

And granted them an equal date<\/p>\n

With Andes and with Ararat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ways of Cleveland\u2018s Cultural Gardens are ways of pleasantness. All their paths bespeak the peace of a world without hate, without fear, with\u00adout mistrust, without greed, seeking only the com\u00admon good in the light of an eternal day.<\/p>\n

Cleveland–proud to possess this true garden spot of the nation where ideas and foliage flourish in unison–possesses it, however, only in the geo\u00adgraphical sense. For in the more profound sense of dedication to cosmopolitan friendship and universal culture, the Cultural Gardens of Cleveland belong to America and to the world.<\/p>\n
