Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Building of a Church It is not so much as a poem that this little book is written as the expression of the joy of a workman in his work, of those "vital feelings of delight" which should animate a man at his labor. It is, further, the embodiment of principles of architectural art, which, had they been observed, would have prevented much of the ugliness that disfigures our land in the way of church buildings. If the Devil were an architect I would think that many clergymen had employed him to draw their plans. It is in the hope that as our country progresses in every thing else good, it may also grow in genuine feeling for an architecture that is fit to be offered to God, that I present this small contribution as a lesson and an inspiration; and if as the pious Herbert says: "A verse may find him whom a sermon misses," it may even do missionary work in fields where other apostles would be debarred. Some one says that for worship we should go, "Not to the domes where crumbling arch and column Attest the feebleness of mortal hand, But to that fane most Catholic and solemn Which God has planned, - To that cathedral boundless as our wonder, Whose quenchless lamps the sun and moon supply, Its choir the wind and waves, its organ thunder, Its dome, the sky."
