Matching Quote
"Man himself is an enigma in motion; his questions never stay asked; whereas the mold, the footprint, and by natural extension, the statue itself, like the vaults, the arches, the temples with which man records his own passing, remain
immobile
and fix a moment of man's life, upon which one might endlessly meditate."
