Which town?

Thus was resumed a painful and tedious process of delivery, which has not known to integrate all of the nourishing sources and its fruit remains to this day a partial perfection – imposing and persuasive but incomplete. For what is offered today is a jewel on an immaculate setting, a monument of peerless contemporary perfection, a uniquely original object the interior of which one may access for an incomparable experience – but for which are lacking the milieu, the environment and the living possibility of an infinity of approaches that would yield its full significance and its wholesome function. Instead of proposing, or imposing, this overbearing opulence that dominates the eye and senses, it would be the magic and the treasure that each one would discover uniquely from Nature’s plenitude and harmonious flux, that each one could freely contemplate and cherish from the wide shelter of a living sanctuary vibrant with Presence, at the tranquil center of Her city in the making. Every gestation, in order to be complete and yield the fulsome harmony of which it is the channel, must be accompanied, watched and sustained by an ensemble of collaborative forces : in this case the repeated attempts to obtain or conjure this necessary collaboration have failed and, however great is the satisfaction of having achieved a nearly impeccable material creation, its incompleteness is a yawning chasm, an absence, the lack and want of this integrality which could show the terrestrial way to a living and durable harmony.
