Vers Une Architecture

Famous quotes containing the words une and/or architecture:

    Je célébrai mon jour de fête
    Dans une oasis d’Afrique
    Vêtu d’une peau de girafe.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    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)
