FOLLY
 A PLACE OF REST AND RESPITE

Folly in architecture, a costly, generally nonfunctional building that was erected to enhance a natural landscape. In the language of architecture, perhaps the most poetic words we have are 'pavilion' and 'folly'. The etymology of both words is fascinating: 'pavilion' comes from the Old French 'paveillon' and the Latin 'papilio', meaning 'butterfly', but also 'tent'; and the word 'folly' from the Old French 'folie', meaning 'madness', but in modern French also 'delight' and 'favourite dwelling'.
