. . . a home where everything has been thought of . . . No poets or philosophers there.
"Starting in the mid $3 millions" is an insult, as if we have to buy our way into hell. I shall do it the old fashioned way and earn passage on my own lack of merit.
Correction, February 8: in my original posting, I misread the Latin artus (limbs) as artes (arts). The correct translation above makes more logical sense, even if it isn't quite as applicable to architecture in the hedge fund era.
On third thought, it occurs to me that there is a poignancy to thinking of sinewy strength dissipating in the hedge fund era, when both art and its generating body have become mere epiphenomena and mind has become nothing more than a ghostly math game played inside a computer, by a computer.
