Don DeLillo Quotes
And This Is What I Mainly Learned Up There, That The Parthenon Was Not A Thing To Study But To Feel. It Wasn't Aloof, Rational, Timeless, Pure. I Couldn't Locate The Serenity Of The Place, The Logic And Steady Sense. It Wasn't A Relic Species Of Dead Greece But Part Of The Living City Below It. This Was A Surprise. I'd Thought It Was A Separate Thing, The Sacred Height, Intact In Its Doric Order. I Hadn't Expected A Human Feeling To Emerge From The Stones But This Is What I Found, Deeper Than The Art And Mathematics Embodied In The Structure, The Optical Exactitudes. I Found A Cry For Pity.
