——To Antoi Gaudi
“One that goes from Earth to eternity, to the highest.”


He was the genius architect in the first place

Using matter, pure and fine
He makes the life that he intends

But in arts pattern, and in science design
At the second place, he was a craftsman
where rigorous rectangles border
a dreaming perspective, where a stream
awakened, he created his life ideal


Then third, he was the naturalist,
Using all he has inspired, he stated
“The big book, always open and we
must strive to read” is that of nature
Least not last, fourthly, he was a guru
“the straight line belongs to men
the curved one to God ” Likewise
Movement meets stillness, a line meets a shout

He was always there in the history of Basilica
Architecture and Geometry
Art of fantasy and algebra wonders
Commentary:  From 2008, 2012, 2017, I made 3 times visit to Sagrada Família, Barcelona, where the architecture designed by Antoni Gaudi. The more time I visit, the more I immensely inspired by Gudi ’s world heritage contribution. Five generations now, we have watched the meticulous construction progress and with almost 140 years after the laying of the cornerstone, the work continues on the Basilica.
