Landscape furniture house

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A house. over there on the cliff. it is very large. the owner must have a lot of cash. right on top of the cliff over the reservoir. seagulls come from the rockport ocean to drink fresh water and sit in the sun. the house does not loom large in their minds. it is irrelevant. the way literature is irrelevant to architecture. the gulls are thinking about fish. even when they fly. twirling gliders. make my day. curving perfect while i swerve ascending. i am free when i ski. but fish are in the quarry. by the cliff. where men look under the curving roof up into the sky.
