“For the eye is always in search of beauty,”
Zdroj: De architectura (The Ten Books On Architecture) (~ 15BC), Book III, Chapter III, Sec. 13
Kontext: For the eye is always in search of beauty, and if we do not gratify its desire for pleasure by a proportionate enlargement in these measures, and thus make compensation for ocular deception, a clumsy and awkward appearance will be presented to the beholder.
