...but they did think about it...
the architect was the visualist...the vision, to build something good and neccessary...

...We all have a "junk drawer" or a closet we toss things in, don't we? We do so because we don't needs these things presently in our busy lives, or we don't want to be reminded of what they represent, or they are too much to handle...Yet, we don't want to lose them because we still somehow think they have a place in our lives or will later, or we still love them too much. That drawer is a part of our house. We hold responsibility for it.
We're not talking about "things", though are we? The vision was to build a retreat-a home for our lost and hidden.
Humanity.
The results are these intensely beautiful structures.
As to the blood and sweat of it...the craftsmen were hirees, and wonderful hirees they were. They did their jobs and made the visualist proud...because the beauty of these buildings is classic. From a solid plan, they built a foundation!
Seems to me a lot of love born of dignity (could be the other way around, too) was involved...

Are we not marveling at the lines of these buildings now?
Remember that I talk of the good and neccessity of it all...and that was the reason for the vision.

ALIESTER, THESE BUILDINGS WERE BUILT BACK WHEN PRIDE IN YOUR CRAFT MEANT EVERYTHING. THESE TRADESMEN HAD A PLAN AND THEY FOLLOWED IT. I'M SURE THEY DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WERE GOING TO BE HERE.

HEY MOTTS, I THOUGHT THE GUEST COTTAGES TO THE RIGHT OF THESE BUILDINGS AS WE LOOK AT THE PICTURE, WERE VERY INTERESTING. ABOUT TEN WILD TURKEYS WALKING AROUND WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE ALSO.
