Passed the bank in the Praga do Pelourinho, and stood for some time looking up at that little spiral pillar, so full of dreadful history. It is a very ancient column, of a single piece of fine marble, exquisitely chiselled. April 4. Lovely morning. Down to the ' Caes do SodrS, ' and off by boat for Belem soon after nine o'clock. To the church, too beautiful and too sumptuous in its beauty for me to describe. Those who have seen the Chapter House at Wells have seen something resem- bling the upp...er part of this magnificent edifice. At the west end the roof is low and groined, and as you enter there is a mysterious and imposing gloom pro- duced by this, which adds to your feelings of wonder BELEM 141 and admiration, when a few steps bring you under the lofty roof, springing out of those noble and ele- gantly wrought pillars. The two nearest to the high altar are more richly worked than the others, and reminded me in their workmanship of the lovely flower-wreathed pillars in Eoslin Chapel.
