To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The columns of the ground arcade are alternately circular and compound. The main vaulting shafts rise from the ground at the alternate piers, and support transverse arch ribs of considerable size. The other shafts start from the caps of the columns. This seems to show, as Viollet le Due has observed, that the vault was at first of the six-celled variety. The repetition of the great arches of the crossing obtained by running down the alternate vaulting shafts to the ground is most satisfactory. ...The aisle circumscribing the apse has circular chapels projecting from it. Behind them, as i 9 4 SENLIS seen from outside, rises the circular wall of the trifo- rium with its own range of windows, and behind that again the apse proper. At the west end are two noble towers, and a triple porch forming an open narthex, there are also delightful cloisters and a chapter-house. The porch, built c. 1270, has had all its sculpture hacked away, but the vestiges show that this must have been admirable. All that is left is some exquisite foliage and three little panels on the mid -post of the door, types of Christ who stood above the Phoenix, the Lion, and the Pelican.
