Excerpt from The Architect
Who were the instruments of raising Rome and Athens from their Philistine rudeness to become the rival thrones of old-world classic glory? The architects. Brief life is here our portion, and with some of us time has already sped too far on for us to feel much ground for hope that in certain cities (which we love for auld lang sync, and which we forbear to name) we may live to see the. Philistine stone rolled away from the tomb wherein the deathless spirit which animates all nature - the spirit of the Beau tiful - imprisoned, awaits a glorious resurrection. Some of us have watched and waited for the dawn. At times we have seemed to see the clouds lift from the earth's verge, and the rosy prospect of a bright and glorious rising has been hinted to our weary eyes. The time is not yet, however.
