    The Luxembourg is a picture gallery in a palace , and a palace in a garden . Spring is its time of prime , for the garden is crowded with lilac trees that array it in an atmosphere of their own beautiful hue , and fill it with that freshest fragrance which can scarce be said to come wooingly' the sense , for the sense would rather come craving for it , after the long privation from all the lovely forms and delicious odours that are shut up in winter .
