We paid a visit to Thomas Jefferson's house Monticello on Monday.
When the bus travelled along the mountain road,I read a beautiful sentencen in the introduction: "all my wishes end, where I hope my days will end, at Monticello----Thomas Jefferson,1787"How deep the love was that he was willing to spend rest of his life in Monticello.
Monticello was a house,an ornamental landscape, a farm, a plantation, a small mountain, and a large and diverse community. It encapsulated the interests, talents, ideals, ambitions, dreams and realities of one of the most complex and interesting members of the bold and creative group we know as the Founding Fathers.It showed Jefferson's knowledgeableness, intelligence, personality and creativeness.
Maps in the hall showed his concern about the world.
Clocks in each room showed his unwillingness to waste a minute.
Different status showed his respect to the great people in history.
Piano, books and oil paintings showed his all-rounded hobbies.
The view outside the house was also fantastic with pieces and pieces of green.
After visiting Monticello,gradually did I come to know the meaning of the sentence mentioned above.
