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 !
