It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
*That form ever follows function.* This is the law.
Louis Sullivan
I agree that it is a beautiful sculpture, beautifully photographed, but is it a
beautiful train station? A beautiful
addition to the town?
