To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The stone carving about the church portals and on side buttresses is inexpressibly quaint and naive. The subjects are sacred ; and with the sacred is mingled the comic, here as at Augsburg, where over one portal of the cathedral, with saints and angels. A CITY LIVING ON THE PAST 129 monkeys climb and gibber. A favorite subject is that of our Lord praying in the Garden, while the apostles, who could not watch one hour, are sleep- ing in various attitudes of stony comicality. All the stone-cutter...s seem to have tried their chisels on this group, and there are dozens of them. The wise and foolish virgins also stand at the church doors in time-stained stone, — the one with a perked-up air of conscious virtue, and the other with a penitent de- jection that seems to merit better treatment. Over the great portal of St. Lawrence — a magnificent structure, with lofty twin spires and glorious rose- window — is carved "The Last Judgment." Un- derneath, the dead are climbing out of their stone coffins; above sits the Judge, with the attending angels.
