Background
A description of the experience
Ralph Walso Emerson - History
It has been said that 'common souls pay with what they do, nobler souls with that which they are'... It is in the soul that architecture exists. Sante Croce and the Dome of St Peters are lame copies after a divine model. Strasberg cathedral is a material counterpart of the soul of Erwin of Steinbach. The true poem is the poet's mind; the true ship is the ship builder.
