Famous quotes containing the words landscape and/or architecture:

    “When a shadow flits across the landscape of the soul where is the substance?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And when his hours are numbered, and the world
    Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
    Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
    To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
    Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
    The frolic architecture of the snow.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
