...cold sort of evaluation for a man like Piranesi. He conceived visions of Rome, Horace Walpole said, "beyond what Rome boasted even in the meridian of its splendor. Savage as Salvator Rosa, fierce as Michelangelo and exuberant as Rubens, he has imagined scenes that would startle geometry, and exhaust the Indies to realize. He piles palaces on bridges, and temples on palaces, and scales Heaven with mountains of edifices. Yet what taste in his boldness! What labor and thought both in his rashness and details...

And even in cars, less than 40% of the smog-producing hydrocarbons comes from the crankcase. The major menace is exhaust fumes, which so far can be controlled only by expensive (upwards of $75) "afterburner" attachments...
