I went to Duke Saturday evening to listen to Brahms' Requiem. It was beautiful, though I admit falling asleep at some times...but only due to sheer exhaustion. I swear! But what I also found amazing was the ceiling when I looked up in the auditorium. The oculus.
Which reminded me of a building we studied in my Art History class:
The Pantheon!! Granted that this isn't...but this building, I believe, was modeled after the Pantheon, like many others have been, such as Thomas Jefferson's building on UVA campus.
Man...the things I learn in Art History, like "oxbow"...saved my butt in Cranium!
