Gates Finale

Since Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "The Gates" is ending its two-week run, I thought I would link to one of the comments in a previous post comparing The Gates to Torii in Kyoto. Bill Wilson's comment is lengthy (and a bit dense wordy and confused at times), but he does have some insights into the meaning of The Gates, particularly regarding the horizontal and the vertical. For the readers who complete it, it should give them something to think get angry about.
