' ... AND IT DOESN'T MOVE.'
Hello, I would like to know the exact meaning of this expression on this paragraph:
' Italianate, Gothic, Roman Catholic art. Sweeping front porches, turrets, cast-iron balconies, colonnades- thirty-foot columns, gloriously beautiful - double pitched roofs, all the architecture of the whole wide world AND IT DOESN'T MOVE.'
Thanks in advance, Jo.

- ' would mean that they are not impressed.
- or perhaps they are commenting on a day trip taken from a cruise ship on a rough sea and have been feeling seasick all week so the fact that they are on dry land that doesn't move is the best part of the day?!
