“I have gone through the plan with Bro. Sulley, verse by verse, and am persuaded that he has reached the divine conception… It is impossible to convey an idea of the grandeur of the architectural details. No such building was ever conceived by man. The biggest building in the world shrinks to a mere outhouse by the side of it, and no such building could be put up by man under present circumstances. As the great architect, Sir Christopher Wren, is reported to have said, ‘It would take the autocratic control of the resources of a universal empire to put it up.’”
