Re: Interesting mis-quote



Larry, 
It is unfortunate that as you fight for truth and
rationalism that you can't remember one of your
"favorite musical quotes' worth a damn, and clearly
don't get the meaning of the actual quote.

According to emerson in
http://www.jjnet.com/emerson/discipline.html
and in
http://www.rain.org/~elw/emerson/nature.txt
or
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/5658/nature.html

'architecture is called "frozen music," by De Stael
and Goethe'

and in
http://www.walden.org/emerson/concordance/ARBITERS-ARMY.HTM

'Madame de Stael's Architecture is frozen music is
borrowed from Goethe's dumb music, which is
Vitruvius's rule, that the architect must not only
understand drawing, but music.'
