The whole basis of the views of architecture prevailing today must be displaced by therecognition that the only possible point of departure for our artistic creation is modern life.

-Wagner, Otto
  Modern Architecture (1895), preface.

I, methought, while the sweet breath of heaven Was blowing on my body, felt within A correspondent breeze, that gently moved With quickening virtue, but is now become A tempest, a redundant energy, Vexing its own creation.

-Wordsworth,William
