The ribbed vaulting that distributes weight in ways that shouldn't work. The flying buttresses that look like the building is being held up by stone wings.

In \u003cstrong\u003eBeauty and the Beast\u003c\/strong\u003e, the rose is a countdown. In \u003cstrong\u003eA Court of Thorns and Roses\u003c\/strong\u003e, roses mark every threshold of consequence.
