"Sometimes we would go out to a dock on the river at night and kiss by the side of the silent water. I could smell the perfume of night flowers, the heavy roses as I kissed the lips of this American" (115 White).
These two quotes are related through contradiction. Pollan says that nature is no longer romantic to the gardener, but White makes a statement that uses nature to add to the romantic atmosphere. White not only used the environment to set the atmosphere, but also her sense of smell. I agree with White on this one, because I also think that nature is romantic to anyone that believes in natures beauty.
