"Watch an old building with an anxious care; guard it as best
you may, and at any cost, from every influence of dilapidation:
Count its stones as you would jewels of a crown; set
watches about it as if at the gates of a besieged city;
bind it together with iron where it loosens; stay it with
timber where it declines; do not care about the unsightliness of the aid: better a crutch than a lost limb;
and do this tenderly, and reverently, and continually,
and many a generation will still be born and pass away
beneath its shadow."
Ruskin—"Seven Lamps."
