Cluny where we here stand -- however grand and wonderful, now quit it; -- and take your way, ye nobler, sadder souls, to those vast Roman halls of Thermes; where far beneath the fantastic towers of man's upper earth, his root of grandeur, his whole awful essence sits in bearded state; an antique buried beneath antiquities, and throned on torsoes! ❋ Herman Melville (1855)
