Some Islamic illustrated manuscripts are sublime,as is some Islamic architecture such as the Taj Mahal.

That's what I thought too for at least half a century. Until I found out (very recently) that the Taj Mahal is really a mud-brick building with 7 feet thick walls (including the dome), or else they would collapse. The marble covering is only a half inch deep 'veneer'.

But it's still as beautiful, mud-brick or not.

And it's black mirror image, on the other side of the river, is poetic genius.
