Famous quotes containing the words architecture, stained, glass and/or windows:

    “It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “And like a little beast,
    Dappled and without horns,
    That scampered on the hill-rocks,
    They will leave you
    With stained throat”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Nor do I try to keep a garden, only
    An avocado in a glass of water—”
    —James Merrill (b. 1926)

    “In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.... We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
