"The branching form of the columns, present in great number, will give the bystander the impression of really finding himself in a forest; for this reason, on the base of the walls of the nave there will be waves of water with fish looking surprised; other fish, coming from the opposite direction, will carry the Host in their mouths." Gaudi, quoted in Communio 29 (Winter 2002): "A Cathedral for the Twentieth Century: Antoni Gaudi's Project for the Sagrada Familia" by Maria Anonietta Crippa, a member of the Engineering Department at the Milan Polytechnic.
