Very different was the architecture of Greece ; it has been termed the perfection of sensuous beauty, the work of men satisfied with what they did and 24 what they were, and seemingly unconscious of the possibility of a higher life. There is no sign in it of any striving after an ideal excellence, too lofty to be reached, but giving life and grandeur to every at- tempt earnestly made to reach it. In a word, no sign is to be found of the influence which Chris- tianity has exercised in ennobling ...and spiritualizing the architecture of mediaeval Europe. This was the work of men less happy than the Greeks ; less satisfied with themselves, less con- tented with their own deficiencies. They felt that here man had no sure resting-place, that the heavens and the earth were not to abide for ever, but that the old order of the universe was destined to be changed and to pass away. This they had been taught in the early legends of their mythology, but they had added to it now another and a higher faith, a faith in God, to which they had before been strangers, a confidence in His care, though all else might fail them.
