"Imagine my joy in creating a fountain of that dimension...I remained faithful to my Greekness and sketched Apollo with the chariot of the sun...The main group of Apollo framed by four pillars of water. 50 feet high. Spotlights in the middle of the water pillar transformed them at night into giant silvery gleaming towers. On the edge of the huge basins stood, in the axis of the six avenues, six maenads in flowing robes, anouncing so to speak, the great event: the arrival of Apollo."
