Reseña del libro "Val d'Arno (en Inglés)"

Excerpt: ...Pisan marbles and legends, if we have a lecture or two on moss. Meantime I need not tell you that it would not be a satisfactory natural arrangement if moss grew on marble, and that all fine workmanship in marble implies equal exquisiteness of surface and edge. 152. You will observe also that the importance of laying the stone in the building as it lay in its bed was from the first recognised by all good northern architects, to such extent that to lay stones 'en delit, ' or in a position out of their bedding, is a recognized architectural term in France, where all structural building takes its rise; and in that form of 'delit' the word gets most curiously involved with the Latin delictum and deliquium. It would occupy the time of a whole lecture if I entered into the confused relations of the words derived from lectus, liquidus, delinquo, diliquo, and deliquesco; and of the still more confused, but beautifully confused, (and enriched by confusion, ) forms of idea, whether respecting morality or marble, arising out of the meanings of these words: the notions of a bed gathered or strewn for the rest, whether of rocks or men; of the various states of solidity and liquidity connected with strength, or with repose; and of the duty of staying quiet in a place, or under a law, and the mischief of leaving it, being all fastened in the minds of early builders, and of the generations of men for whom they built, by the unescapable bearing of geological laws on their life; by the ease or difficulty of splitting rocks, by the variable consistency of the fragments split, by the innumerable questions occurring practically as to bedding and cleavage in every kind of stone, from tufo to granite, and by the unseemly, or beautiful, destructive, or protective, effects of decomposition. 1 The same processes of time which cause your Oxford oolite to flake away like the leaves of a mouldering book, only warm with a glow of perpetually deepening gold the marbles of Athens...

John Ruskin (Londres, 8 de febrero de 1819 - Coniston, 20 de enero de 1900) fue un influyente escritor, crítico de arte y reformador social británico del siglo XIX. Su obra abarca una amplia gama de temas, incluyendo arte, arquitectura y economía política.

Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran "Pintores modernos" (1843-1860), una defensa del paisajismo contemporáneo; "Las siete lámparas de la arquitectura" (1849), donde establece principios fundamentales de la arquitectura; y "Las piedras de Venecia" (1851-1853), un análisis profundo de la arquitectura veneciana. Además, "Sésamo y lirios" (1865) y "La Biblia de Amiens" (1880-1885) reflejan su interés en la literatura y la historia.
