Bring out the nature of the materials. Let their nature intimately into your scheme.

Frank Lloyd Wright

As we work along our various ways, there takes shape within us, in some sort, an ideal – something we are to become – some work to be done. This, I think, is denied to very few, and we begin really to live only when the thrill of this ideality moves us in what we will to accomplish.
