Notes
Mutual inter-ornament of media/spaces of very different scales. The bedroom is itself described as built of shining white marble, with windows through which greenery can be soon, and with a nice alcove and fountain - but these are not discussed as the ornamentation itself. The room is itself "ornatus".
