Never Had There Been Such An Attempt

Every One Who Has A Heart, However Ignorant Of Architecture He May Be, Feels The Transcendent Beauty And Poetry Of The Mediaeval Churches.

But If Anyone Supposes That There Was No Commercial Fraud In The Middle Ages, Let Him Study The Commercial Legislation Of England For That Period, And His Mind Will Be Satisfied, If He Has A Mind To Be Satisfied And Not Only A Fancy To Run Away With Him.

The Roman Legions Were Formed In The First Instance Of Citizen Soldiers, Who Yet Had Been Made To Submit To A Rigid Discipline, And To Feel That In That Submission Lay Their Strength.

Yet For My Part, Deeply As I Am Moved By The Religious Architecture Of The Middle Ages, I Cannot Honestly Say That I Ever Felt The Slightest Emotion In Any Modern Gothic Church.

Personality Is Lower Than Partiality.
