Excerpt from Sans Merci, or Kestrels and Falcons, Vol. 1 of 3 The expert, in matters architectural or eccle siological, will easily point out to you some difference, marked and material, in the aspect of each and every one of English cathedral towns. But, to the uninitiated observer, a weary monotony of colouring seems to pervade them all. It is well with us, while we stand in the shadow of the huge western towers, or of the soaring minster Spire when the sun is low. Setting aside all reverence - the very sense of seclusion and sever ance from the buzzing world outside must needs be pleasant, while it lasts mind and body alike.
