Notes: |
“Look at Canterbury. How many changes of architectural taste are not there visible; how many different periods of are history may not be there traced: yet is the effect anywhere discordant?—Oh, he were indeed presumptious who should say so. Is it not rather in the highest degree grand and impressive, conveying at once to the mind that sense of sublime repose which belongs only to works of essential unity?” (p. 154) All that is to say that the cathedral is beautiful and peaceful to look at. |
