"The grandeur of Borobudur is something immense,
sphinx-like, incomprehensible and yet so fascinating.
It overpowers with a sense of our own incapacity to give a description.
Its enigmas are too many and too great for us to solve,
and yet it exercises such a powerful charm,
lays such a hold on the mind that we are irresistibly compelled
to use all our powers to discover something of its mysterious being."
