Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vision of Master Gerardus, and Other Pieces [Cologne Minster, of which the original architect is believed to have been Master Gerardus, was begun in 1248, and the choir consecrated in 1322. Thereafter the work languished, so that by the end of the 15th century all hope of seeing the edifice completed was abandoned. In 1796 it was converted by the French into a hay magazine. In 1824 the work of restoration was begun, and in 1842 the foundation stone of the new part of the building was laid. Finally on 15th October 1880 the completion of the Cathedral was celebrated in the presence of the German Emperor, surrounded by almost all the sovereign Princes of the Empire.] Shall I not live, do you ask, to see my Minster complete, I and the monks give praise, hearing the music roll, Blinded with pride of performance, feel the heart beat, Lauding the finished work? Go, fetch me yon scroll. Look you and look you here! Thus and thus far have I wrought This imperfection of all God gave to my brain and hand, And as ever the vision brightened a higher vision I sought, And never I planned but I prayed, and prayed as ever I planned.
