Famous quotes containing the words roof and/or sculpture:
“A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Ah, to build, to build!
That is the noblest art of all the arts.
Painting and sculpture are but images,
Are merely shadows cast by outward things
On stone or canvas, having in themselves
No separate existence. Architecture,
Existing in itself, and not in seeming
A something it is not, surpasses them
As substance shadow.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
