the quiet architect of every strong thing that ever thought it built itself
means A person who feeds, protects, and patiently develops the growth of someone or something, helping them flourish over time.
from From 'nurture,' which came through Old French 'norriture' (nourishment, upbringing) from Latin 'nutritura' — a feeding, a rearing — rooted in 'nutrire,' to suckle or nourish. The same Latin source quietly feeds 'nutrition' and 'nurse.' The '-er' suffix simply names the one who does the doing, so a nurturer is, at the bone, one who keeps another fed enough to grow.
