Famous quotes containing the words taller and/or structures:

    “My black sun, my
    Odessa sunflower,
    spurs of Tartar gold
    ring at your ankles,
    you stand taller before me than the ten
    towers of Jerusalem.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
