john portman was/is a philistine when it comes to historic architecture----he wrecked a great little building at the intersection of P'tree and P'tree Center Ave. across from sacred heart so that he could have a nice grassy lawn in front of what is now suntrust plaza, construction of which drove him to the edge of bankruptcy in 1992----ha!

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
