“Silence is a great blue bell
Swinging and ringing, tinkling and singing,
In measure’s pleasure, and in the supple symmetry
of the soaring of the immense intense wings…”
Delmore Schwartz (Dec. 8,1913-July 11,1966)

"...solo le fuggevoli cose
Hanno inventato le nude parole
Mentre quelle che non devono perire
Tacciono sempre, avendo tutto il tempo di parlare -
E che la loro eternità le narra."

André Gide

'Plato's School' by is a decoration intended for the Sorbonne but never installed there. Its monumental size and its ambitious message – an interpretation of classical philosophy seen through the prism of the symbolist ideal – set it apart.
