Էջ 48 - IN the market-place of Bruges stands the belfry old and brown; Thrice consumed and thrice rebuilded, still it watches o'er the town. As the summer morn was breaking, on that lofty tower I stood, And the world threw off the darkness, like the weeds of widowhood.

There are legends innumerable connected with all these buildings, and even yet discoveries are frequently made in old houses of secret chambers and staircases.

Էջ 215 - It is a grand, gloomy old pile, dating back from the eleventh century — one of the few Gothic churches in Germany that have ever been completed. The tower of beautiful fretwork rises to the height of three hundred and ninety-five feet, and the body of the church, including the choir, is of the same length. The interior is solemn and majestic. Windows stained in colors that burn let in a "dim religious light" which accords very well with the dark old pillars and antique shrines.
Էջ 322 - ... the four immense pillars on which it rests are each one hundred and thirty-seven feet in circumference !
