Enter the Cathedrals of Italy, with their imperishable mosaics; see St. Mark's, at Venice, glowing like an illuminated Bible with immortal picturings ; nay, step but into the neighbouring Abbey, with its solemn aisles, its high-embowered roofs, its marble floors, its painted windows ; and there, in these days..., when too often ' the honour of God is thought to consist in the poverty of His Temple, and the colour is denied to the casement and the marble to the altar, while wealth is exhausted in the luxury of boudoirs and the pride of reception rooms, ' read, in that epic poem of Gothic archi- tecture, that our forefathers were more generous than we, and that 1 They dreamt not of a perishable home "Who thus could build.
