Scenery
of a winding, brackish creek, within wooded banks; gaining interest from
the meandering course of the water; numerous point and coves softened
in their outlines by thickets and with much delicate variety in tone and
color through varied, and, in landscape art, novel, forms of perennial
and herbaceous growths, the picturesque elements emphasized by a few necessary
structures, strong but unobtrusive. - Frederick Law Olmsted, on his
intent for the qualities of the Back Bay Fens landscape. (Sutton, 224)
