Stran 47 - Llandaff is a mixture of that of a ruined abbey and that of an ordinary parish church. St. David's, standing erect amidst desolation, alike in its fabric and its establishment, decayed, but not dead ; neglected, but never entirely forsaken...
Stran 47 - Llandaff i> a mixture of that of a ruined abbey and that of an ordinary parish church. St. David's, standing erect amid desolation, alike In its fabric and its establishment, decayed but not dead, neglected but never entirely forsaken, still remaining in a corner of the world, with its services uninterrupted in the coldest times, its ecclesiastical establishment comparatively untouched, is, more than any other spot, a link between the present and the past ; nowhere has the present so firm and true...
Stran 188 - It is hardly necessary to say that many churches, even of inferior ecclesiastical rank, greatly surpass St. David's Cathedral in extent and in positive beauty, though certainly there is none which could so well occupy its peculiar position ; of the Palace on the other hand it is hardly too much to affirm that it is altogether unsurpassed by any existing English edifice of its own kind. One can hardly conceive any structure that more completely proclaims its peculiar purpose : it is essentially a...
Stran 112 - Shrine here enclo'd resteth the Bones of that noble Lord, Edmund Earl of Richmond, Father and Brother to Kings, the which departed out of this World in the year of Lord God a thousand four hundred fifty and six, the first day of the Month of November, on whose soul Almighty Jesus have mercy. Amen.
Stran 333 - I went further, and thought that he ought to be excommunicated. He was one of the worst men, in all respects, that ever I knew in holy orders : passionate, covetous, and false in the blackest instances ; without any one virtue or good quality, to balance his many bad ones.
Stran 54 - Possibly the circumstances which conduced to the lack of external ornament may have led its designers to counterbalance this deficiency by a superabundance of internal decoration. Certain it is that very few structures of the same size equal this Cathedral in the richness and elaborateness of execution lavished upon this portion of this interior. In fact much of the solemnity of a Romanesque nave is lost, an effect which is certainly far better produced by more massive proportions and a greater extent...
Stran 19 - Owen (16th cent.), says that they 'preache deadly doctrine to their winter audience, such poor seafaring men as are forcyd thether by tempest^ onlie in one thing they are to be commended, they keepe residence better than the rest of the canons of that see are wont to do'.
Stran 48 - Winchester more grand and awful, than either is by day; but they cannot at all compete with the strange and unique charm of St. David's. They are still buildings, palpably and unmistakably the works of man, and suggesting only the ideas naturally raised by the noblest of his productions ; but St. David's almost assumes the character of a work of nature ; the thoughts of man and his works, even the visions of fallen state and glory, are well nigh lost in the forms of the scene itself, hardly less...
Stran 19 - ... those of the mainland ; but they are less dangerous to seamen than the smaller rocks which lie off the north side of Ramsey, known as ' The Bishop and his Clerks ' — of course with a reference to the neighbouring ' bishopstool ' of St. David's. Ringed with surf, they rise black and splintered, and ' are not withoute some small quiristers, who shewe not themselves but at spring tydes and calme seas. . . . The Bishop and these his Clerkes preache deadly doctrine to their winter audience, such...
Stran 343 - And the said mr. chaunter on the . . . day of this instant July, caused the said ungodly books to be canceld and torne in pieces in the vestrie before his face, in the presens of mr. chauncellor and others.
