“The gothic is singular in this; one seems easily at home in the renaissance; one is not too strange in the Byzantine; as for the Roman, it is ourselves; and we could walk blindfolded through every chink and cranny of the Greek mind; all these styles seem modern when we come close to them; but the gothic gets away.”

“Go, you are dismissed.
[Ite missa est.]”

And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King,
Who make up a heaven of our misery.”
