“Campus Shirt sleeves half out of the jeans, Eyes grounding the green while looking All around for Christmas nights. Blue sounds of church bells ringing On morning streets and alleys Are rewritten in archways beneath. The campus is clear of recitation, And the steps lead to none other than doors That keep opening to New Year’s hope.” HopeStreetsGreenChristmasBellsNew YearCampusAlleysRecitationArchways Author:Laura Chouette
“The duende....Where is the duende? Through the empty archway a wind of the spirit enters, blowing insistently over the heads of the dead, in search of new landscapes and unknown accents: a wind with the odour of a child's saliva, crushed grass, and medusa's veil, announcing the endless baptism of freshly created things.” ChildrenSpiritWindEmptyEndlessLandscapeGrassAccentsVeilsCrushedBaptismAnnouncingMedusaSalivaArchways Author:Federico Garcia Lorca
“The weapons that were once outside sharpening themselves on war are now indoors there, in the fortress, fragile in glass cases; Why is it (I'm thinking of the careful moulding round the stonework archways) that in this time, such elaborate defences keep things that are no longer (much) worth defending?” ThinkingWarCasesWeaponsRoundsGlassesCarefulFragileDefenceFortressesSharpeningArchways Book:Selected Poems: 1965-1975 Source: Selected Poems: 1965-1975

“It was fantastic to be able to have my kids on set. Dash, my eldest son, who’s not quite five, was into knights and his godmother had given him a plastic Marks & Spencer knights’ outfit and [first assistant director] Tommy Gormley said that he could stand to protect me during the scene where Clive [Owen] is talking about the immensity of sitting on the throne.

“But some part of him realized, even as he fought to break free from Lupin, that Sirius had never kept him waiting before. . . . Sirius had risked everything, always, to see Harry, to help him. . . .

“The fundamental idea of these pylons, or great archways, is based on a method of construction peculiar to me, of which the principle consists in giving to the edges of the pyramid a curve of such a nature that this pyramid shall be capable of resisting the force of the wind without necessitating the junction of the edges by diagonals as is usually done.” GivingIdeasDoneScienceForcePrinciplesWindCapableMethodFundamentalsEdgesPeculiarConstructionCurvesPyramidsResistingJunctionArchways Author:Gustave Eiffel
