Famous quotes containing the words tallest and/or buildings:

    “But not the tallest there, ‘tis said,
    Could fathom to this pond’s black bed.”
    —Edmund Blunden (1896–1974)

    “The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
