Quote

“Fantastic Undines, Caryatides, Titans, Sirens, Lions and Chimeras made of plaster and granite and turned into jewelry are firmly propping up balconies and gates and are carefully watching the quietness of those sleeping and the night. The brass Griphons at the entrance to the stone bridge spanning the banks of Vera waters have stretched their wings and are ready to fly away” (pg. 209)
