That is the noblest art of all the arts.

Are merely shadows cast by outward things
On stone or canvas, having in themselves
No separate existence. Architecture,
Existing in itself, and not in seeming
A something it is not, surpasses them
As substance shadow.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“The popular colleges of the United States are turning out more educated people with less originality and fewer geniuses than any other country.”

Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
