Louis Henry Sullivan (September 3, 1856 – April 14, 1924) was an American architect, and has been called the "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism". He is considered by many as the creator of the modern skyscraper, was an influential architect and critic of the Chicago School, was a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Henry Hobson Richardson and Frank Lloyd Wright, Sullivan is one of "the recognized trinity of American architecture". "Form follows function" is attributed to him although he credited the origin of the concept to an ancient Roman architect. In 1944, he was the second architect in history to posthumously receive the AIA Gold Medal.
Louis Henry Sullivan was born to a Swiss-born mother, née Andrienne List, and an Irish-born father, Patrick Sullivan, both of whom had immigrated to the United States in the late 1840s. Learning that he could both be graduated from high school a year early and pass up the first two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by passing a series of examinations. Entering MIT at the age of sixteen, he studied architecture there briefly. After one year of study, he moved to Philadelphia and took a job with architect Frank Furness.
Nosen dahom sna
doleteo je crni golub na moj dlan
zasto ko da zna
al' to sam jutro docekao umoran
ko da sam i ja leteo s njim
krilima teskim olovnim
i video svet sakriven iza zlatnih oblaka
Ako umrem mlad
posadi mi na grobu samo ruzmarin
na dozvoli tad
da naprave od toga tuzni treci cin
nek mi ne drze govore
nek drugom pletu lovore
ako umrem mlad
zaustavljen u koraku i snu
O zagrli me sad
jako, najbolje sto znas
i nemoj crnoj ptici da me das
ma ne, ne brini
proci ce za tren
ja sam samo malo lud i zaljubljen
U mojim venama davni sever caruje
i ja ponekad ne znam sta mu je
sto luduje , od srece tugu tka
moja prosta dusa slovenska
Uplasi me sjaj,
milion sveca kad se nebom popali
gde je tome kraj
za kog su tako dubok zdenac kopali
zasto se sve to desava
da l' covek ista resava
il' smo samo tu
