    The cob house has a kind of transcendent luxuriousness that moves me to pity for the sterile luxuries of the rich. The hand-smoothed (not troweled), oiled and waxed earth is closer to naked flesh than any tanned animal skin. The delicacy of the inlaid tile mosaics is magical. The hand-molded nooks and crannies are intimately personal. I am moved and inspired by what these young mud daubers have gone and done.
