THE MAGIC OF THE HORSE-SHOE 123 north as " the unblessed heathen quarter. " The unex- plored Arctic regions, where night ^ reigned much of the time, were thought to belong especially to the Devil, or spirit of darkness ; ^ and the same idea is conveyed in several passages of Holy Scripture, as, for example, in Jeremiah iv. 6 : " I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. " In the Middle Ages the rose-windows in the north and south transepts of Lincoln Minster were called the two... eyes of the cathedral, the former being known as the Deatt's Eye, ever on the watch against the attacks of Lucifer, who had his abode "in the sides of the north " (Isaiah xiv. 13) ; while the window in the south transept was called the Bishops s Eye, " courting the influence of the Holy Spirit, of which the south wind was a type. " Apropos of evil spirits entering conse- crated places, there is a quaint legend about a little stone figure yclept the Lincoln Imp, which is to be seen perched upon a corbel of a column on the north side of the Angel Choir of the same cathedral.
