| Details |
'The choir is the most lofty in the world.' "In the work which seems to me the great type of simple and masculne buttress structure, the apse of Beauvais, the pinnacles are altogether insignificant, and are evidently added just as exclusively to entertain the eye and lighten the aspect on the buttress as the slight shafts which are set on its angles. - Ruskin
