It is no wonder that this opening with its pleasant welcome has been the pattern of all doors, portals, even windows, down to the present time; we can trace it often in the unpretentious cottage of the laborer. It has been already noted that the Egyp- tian, being so exclusive, shunned the entrance, and hence never developed its architectural form ; the outside was not to get inside with him, but on the whole to remain outside as unholy, unin- itiated, unconsecrated.

Still we must not forget that the limiting wall is also found in the Greek Temple, though inside. Moreover with the tie-beam is introduced the THE HELLENIC NORM. 203 horizontal principle which at last reaches the point of dominating the vertical principle of the column .
