smute<p>V devatenáctém století si zámožní statkáři najímali živé zahradní trpaslíky. Podmínkou bylo žít několik let v osamění na zahradách v různých chatičkách nebo jeskynních a nesmět se s návštěvníky bavit. Údajně to souznilo s tehdejším melancholismem, který byl v období romantismu pojímán pozitivně jako doklad intelektu, proto si na své honosné zahrady pořizovali živou reprezentaci v podobě lidského ornamentu. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TIL</span></a></p>
