Secret Springs: An Autobiography is a memoir written by Claude Bragdon, an American architect, writer, and philosopher who lived from 1866 to 1946. In this book, Bragdon shares his life story, starting from his childhood in rural New York to his successful career as an architect in New York City. Bragdon discusses his early interests in art and architecture, his education at Cornell University, and his experiences working as an architect in Rochester, New York. He also writes about his spiritual and philosophical beliefs, which he developed through his study of Theosophy, a spiritual movement that emphasizes the unity of all religions and the importance of spiritual growth. Throughout the book, Bragdon reflects on his personal and professional struggles, including his battles with depression and alcoholism. He also shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics, from the nature of creativity to the role of architecture in society. Secret Springs is a fascinating look at the life of a visionary architect and thinker, written in Bragdon's elegant and insightful prose. It provides a unique perspective on the cultural and intellectual climate of the early 20th century, and offers valuable insights into the creative process and the pursuit of spiritual growth.1917.
