    The hand that rounded Peter's dome
    And groined the aisles of Christian Rome,
    Wrought in a sad sincerity;
    Himself from God he could not free;
    He builded better than he knew;
    The conscious stone to beauty grew.

The hasty multitude
Admiring enter'd, and the work some praise,
And some the architect: his hand was read more

The hasty multitude
Admiring enter'd, and the work some praise,
And some the architect: his hand was known
In heaven by many a tower'd structure high,
Where scepter'd angels held their residence,
And sat as princes.

Like some tall palm the mystic fabric sprung.
Majestic silence.

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.

Cost little less than new, before they're ended.

Rose, like an exhalation.
