dbp:quote
  • The impact created by all these glowing, coloured religious images is overwhelming and intoxicating. To enter St Fin Barre's Cathedral is an experience unparalleled in Ireland and rarely matched anywhere. (en)
  • "There's a babyish party called Burges, (en)
  • He's disgracefully old, (en)
  • His furniture is witty, inventive and erudite. (en)
  • If you hadn't been told, (en)
  • Who from childhood hardly emerges. (en)
  • You would offer a bull's-eye to Burges." (en)
  • The most complete example of a medieval secular interior produced by the Gothic Revival, and the last. (en)
  • Judging by the mix-and-match style of its construction, evidently they [Heathcoat-Amory and Burges] never quite managed to agree on the eventual style of the house. Burges' obsession with the Middle Ages resulted in a plethora of stone curlicues, ornate mantles and carved figurines, but Amory preferred austere Victorian grandeur, best seen in the billiard room and the ornate boudoir. (en)
  • The skyline of the capital of Wales[:] the dream of one great patron and one great architect has almost become the symbol of a whole nation (en)
  • "[He was] the most dazzling exponent of the High Victorian Dream. Pugin conceived that dream; Rossetti and Burne-Jones painted it; Tennyson sang its glories; Ruskin and Morris formulated its philosophy; but only Burges built it." (en)
  • A prime example of the partnership of aristocratic patron and talented architect produc[ing] the marvels of Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch. (en)
  • The distant view, of unequal drum towers rising under candlesnuffer roofs from the wooded hillside, is irresistibly appealing. Here the castle of romantic dreams is given substance. (en)
  • Our ancestors had their churches made as beautiful as they could afford. A great cathedral must have been an encyclopedia of all the knowledge at the time ... It is only by acting in a similar manner that we shall ever progress and have an art of our own. (en)
  • Exit Burges. [The college fellows] will be sorry in fifty years. (en)
