At the most we gaze at it in wonder, a kind of wonder which in itself is a form of dawning horror, for somehow we know by instinct that outsize buildings cast the shadow of their own destruction before them, and are designed from the first with an eye to their later existence as ruins. W. G. Sebald
Khalil Gibran quote: "Remembrance is a form of meeting."
Remembrance is a form of meeting. Khalil Gibran
