what's happened?? that is an evocative and painful image, so what has you so shredded...oon the other hand, a column is a slender yet powerful support, capable of being intense weight, so perhaps you have found some new strength? hmmmm things that make your readers go hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteIggy,
ReplyDeleteWalls hide things. Columns support things. Be a column.
Oh, and tell goddamn Louis Kahn that using transitive verbs as intransitive verbs is silly and pretentious, and makes you sound like a 1970s wannabe hippie poet trapped in a job at a B-list liberal arts college.
On that point I'm a stickler. Or perhaps, I should say, that I stickle.
Columns...what's wrong with 'em? They are stout, strong, supportive, no?
ReplyDeleteAll good traits, methinks.
Have a good weekend, Gumby.
ReplyDeleteMissed you.
ReplyDelete...and a group of columns a museum makes; but single, a delightful umbrella. For one or two.
There's nothing at all wrong with being a column, my dear Irish. They are strong, beautiful and supportive.
ReplyDeleteWhen the walls parted, it opened my mind to the space and the view. I need the columns to support what I saw....
ReplyDeleteOkay, your post was making me pull from my shallow depths.
that was amazing.
ReplyDeletesteve.
I'm a parting wall. I suspect that's why my head hurts. Lend me some aspirin will you please.
ReplyDeleteso much more architecturally interesting than the lowly wall, wouldn't you say?
ReplyDeleteEin mal ist kein mal
ReplyDeleteit's the second time that makes it
I hope you're doing okay. I'm slightly worried about you.

Columns are strong and supportive. The question is are you fluted?
ReplyDeleteColumns. Are they Roman or Greek? Are you wearing a toga with that column?
