Henry Adams Quote

Upon seeing the Palace of Electricity in Paris:

All the steam in the world could not, like the Virgin, build Chartres.

The Education of Henry Brooks Adams: An Autobiography (1919)

All the steam in the world could not, like the Virgin, build Chartres.

All the steam in the world could not, like the Virgin, build Chartres.

All the steam in the world could not, like the Virgin, build Chartres.

All the steam in the world could not, like the Virgin, build Chartres.
