Yesterday I went to Santa Sofia. From some distance off one thinks it quite small ; as one gets nearer one thinks it quite big, and once inside one is really staggered by the size of it. It is immense. Great porphyry and grey marble columns, and great dabs of red and grey marble covering the walls like panels a perfect Greek-cross shape. The Turks, when they came in, painted over all the mosaics on the ceiling with gold to obliterate the Christian pictures and crosses, and put up their " merab ..." out of line with the orientation of the eastern window. Also all the prayer-carpets which cover every inch of the floor are skew-eyed. This is because Christian churches are orientated towards Jerusalem, mosques towards Mecca. The nave of the church is covered with vulgar green plaques with gold Arabic lettering of huge size which look like patent-medicine advertisements. These are the names of the first few Caliphs, I think. Also, the roof is covered with a sort Charles Lister of silly design of no worth superimposed with the gold paint to hide the Christian symbols.
