What sculptured faces, what certainty, authority controlled by piety, although great boots march under the gowns.

In what orderly procession they advance.

Thick wax candles stand upright; young men rise in white gowns; while the subservient eagle bears up for inspection the great white book.
An inclined plane of light comes accurately through each window, purple and yellow even in its most diffused dust, while, where it breaks upon stone, that stone is softly chalked red, yellow, and purple.

Neither snow nor greenery, winter nor summer, has power over the old stained glass.

As the sides of a lantern protect the flame so that it burns steady even in the wildest night--burns steady and gravely illumines the tree-trunks--so inside the Chapel all was orderly.
