2. ...beginning to wonder whether architecture in the virtual realm is more the product of the osmotic imagination.
3. ...add spaces within the "framework" of the Piranesi plans.
6. ...and don't forget about Fountain of Youth, what would you call it?
Cotman, John Sell
landscape painter and architectural draftsman; b. June 11, 1782, (at Norwich, Norfolk, England) ; d. July 28, 1842.
He went to London in 1800 and exhibited at the Academy until 1807, when he returned to Norwich and became secretary of the Local society of artists. In 1812 he commenced the publication of his Architectural Antiquities of Norfolk, which was completed, five series in two volumes, in 1838. Cotman visited Normandy in 1817, 1818, and 1819; and in 1820 published the illustrations to Dawson Turner's Account of a Tour in Normandy (2 vols., London, 1820). He published also Engravings from Sepulchral Brasses in Norfolk and Suffolk (2 vols., 1838).

Tragedy into Farce
Baroness Spera von Truchsess was an elderly Spanish-born Russian noble who was in love with Ludwig. She had used part of her vast fortune building a villa in Hohenschwangau so that she could be close to the King. She was also a frequent inmate at Dr Gudden's asylum. Being a noble, she knew all the Commission by name when she reached the castle to protect her beloved King, (she had an army of spies around Hohenschwangau so she would not miss any gossip) which she did by beating them with her parasol. Flailing her weapon, she managed to reach the interior of the Castle, and the King's room, and fell down before him, saying she would protect him. She named the Commission, and when Ludwig heard that it was headed by a trusted Minister, and included a one-time friend (Holnstein), he flew into a rage, and ordered their arrest at once.
--the mysterious death of the king...
