Famous quotes containing the words channel and/or architecture:

    Wherever there is a channel for water, there is a road for the canoe.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument, that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
