עמוד 199 - Brv» jugis, beauty originates in the design, and is never superinduced by ornament. Their elevations enchant you, not by the length and altitude, nor by the materials and sculpture, but by the consummate felicity of their proportions, by the harmonious distribution of solid and void, by that happy something between flat and prominent, which charms both in front and profile; by that maestria which calls in columns, not to encumber but to support, and reproduces ancient beauty in combinations unknown...
