The Lines of the Craftsmen - Arne Jacobsen's Aarhus Town Hall

"I have seen the lines of the craftsmen, the finest of which are like a spider's web, but mathematical lines are different. 
They are not the images of such things as the eye of my body has showed me. 
The man who knows them does so without any cogitation of physical objects whatever, but intuits them within himself."
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (book 10, chapter 12,) circa 397AD

Free from Change

...all god is good, free from passion, free from change. 
For whatever suffers change does so for the worse or the better; 
if for the worse, it is made bad; if for the better, it must have been bad at first.” 
Sallustius, On the Gods and the Cosmos, I
