1658 年，托马斯·布朗爵士 (Sir Thomas Browne) 共同出版了《Hydrotaphia》、《瓮葬》；或者，《诺福克最近发现的坟墓瓮和赛勒斯花园的论述》，或者《梅花菱形》，或人工、自然、神秘地考虑的古代网络种植园。尽管标题看似不同，这两首作品的关系更像是血而不是水。基本上，这些主题都有一定的身份，他们的表达代表了许多世界的居民所达到的艺术完美的最高点：一个古代知识的爱好者，一个优秀的科学家，一个怀疑论者，一个有信仰的人，一个微观世界的不断剖析者，同时也是一个宏观世界的精神旅行者。
In 1658 Sir Thomas Browne published together Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial; or, a Discourse of the Sepulchral Urns Lately Found in Norfolk, and The Garden of Cyrus,' or, The Quincuncial Lozenge,_ or Net-Work Plantations of the Ancients, Artificially, Naturally, Mystically Considered. Despite the seeming disparity of their titles, the relationship of these two compositions is more one of blood than of water. Basically the subjects have a certain identity, and their expression represents the highest point of artistic perfection reached by a dweller in many worlds: a lover of ancient lore who was a good scientist, a sceptic who was a man of faith, a constant dissector of the microcosm who was also a mental traveler of the macrocosm.
