The towers of Jerusalem
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art. Benjamin Disraeli
Psychological Meaning: A tower may be a symbol for aloofness. Are you so involved in cerebral activities that you have lost touch with your feelings? A tower can also of course be phallus symbol.

Personal commentary:
My regular readers have probably noticed that building symbols and tower symbols appear in my art work frequently. It is true that I often become obsessed with cerebral activities and I lose touch with my feelings. The phallic symbol of many of my drawings is also obvious. I lean toward Carl Jung’s idea that in primitive societies, phallic symbols do no usually refer to sex. They symbolize spiritual power. These symbols would be displayed on occasions when the spirits are being called upon to increase the crop yield or to heal someone. The connection between the penis and strength, between semen and seed, between fertilization and fertility are understood by most cultures.

Ronald, I'd like to put a banner on my blog, linking to this one. Do you have a banner you can give me?
Also, I'd like to know whether you favor the term "metrimorphic" over "morphometric." I can't decide which I prefer, in terms of the sound of the word and its implied meaning.
Thanks ahead for your input!
