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

    “The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    “All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “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)

    “It is difficult to read. The page is dark.
    Yet he knows what it is that he expects.
    The page is blank or a frame without a glass
    Or a glass that is empty when he looks.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The light struggled in through windows of oiled paper, but they read the word of God by it.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
