uninspired

Consult the genius of the place in all;
That tells the waters to rise, or fall;
Or helps th' ambitious hill the heav'ns to scale,
Or scoops in circling theatres the vale;
Calls in the country, catches opening glades,
Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades,
Now breaks, or now directs, th' intending lines;
Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs.

Alexander Pope
Epistle IV, to Richard Boyle, Earl of Burlington

a little uninspired about design right now. need a good poem to cheer me up. wish randy were here. and even douglas darden's book condemned buildings, the guy who made me realize that architecture could be dark and sensual and beautiful....is borrowed out :(
