Soaring towers,

steeples, minarets, campaniles,

built with ladder, pulley and winch,

stone houses for kyries, bells and adhans,

monuments of civic pride,

enclosing space with wonder,

drawing eyes and hearts upward into the sky:

"Teach marble prayers to us who know no longer what to pray."

(Vassar Miller)
