More From Walter Savage Landor

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

...there ... remains a huge following [of ayn rand's philosophy] of those who ignore the indiscretions, infidelities, and moral inconsistencies of the founder and focus instead on the positive aspects of her philosophy. there is much in it to admire, if you do not have to accept the whole package... criticism of the founder or followers of a philosophy does not, by itself, constitute a negation of any part of the philosophy... criticism of part of a philosophy does not gainsay the whole.

"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs.

Like wind-- in it, with it, of it. of it just like a sail, so light and strong that, even when it is bent flat, it gathers all the power of the wind without hampering its course. like light-- in light, lit through by light, transformed into light. like the lens which disappears in the light it focuses. like wind. like light. just this--on these expanses, on these heights.

Are not gross bodies and light convertible into one another; and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter into their composition? the changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.

The nile, draining out into the mediterranean. the bright lights of cairo announce the opening of the north-flowing river’s delta, with jerusalem’s answering high beams to the northeast. this 4,258 mile braid of human life, first navigated end-to-end in 2004, is visible in a single glance from space.

The extreme delight we experience in talking about ourselves should warn us that those who listen do not share it.

From what has been said it is also evident, that the whiteness of the sun's light is compounded all the colours wherewith the several sorts of rays whereof that light consists, when by their several refrangibilities they are separated from one another, do tinge paper or any other white body whereon they fall. for those colours ... are unchangeable, and whenever all those rays with those their colours are mix'd again, they reproduce the same white light as before.
