What kind of batteries do they use?

More cant for FLW buffs here, and you've probably read similar breathless prose somewhere else:

But about Fallingwater's breathtaking beauty and its deeply spiritual quality there can be no doubt, at least in my mind. I have been to Fallingwater three times, each trip a pilgrimage, each even more rewarding than the previous one. I am not given to spirituality and am not especially fond of most modern architecture, but I am far from immune to "the deep spirituality that people intuit in the house" and agree that because Fallingwater's "key allusions are to nature. . . . Every visitor and viewer seems to find in Fallingwater some echo of his own culture."

Ugh. "...breathtaking beauty...deeply spiritual quality...nature"

Is he saying that the structure is unimportant and that's why Fallingwater is important --- because it puts you in touch with nature? Or what is he saying? Part of the problem of treating a building as a piece of sculpture to be observed, like a painting, rather than a tool to be used, is that there is not a whole lot to say besides I like it or I don't like it. It leaves architectural criticism way up in the air because there are no criteria except opinion, your opinion or other people's opinions. So discussions have to be puffed up with words like "beauty" and "spiritual" which lead nowhere.

Fallingwater may indeed be a nicely-done house. I don't know; I hope to see it some day and I'll be able to judge it fairly then. But why can't anyone say anything solid about it by way of criticism? Yes, the sociology behind it is nice gossip and we all like gossip. I'll visit it soon. Wouldn't it be funny if I came back a FLW buff, sounding as vapid as the rest of them do now, to me?
