St Paul's Cathedral

Dear V ... What is it about a cathedral?  Is it the march of the pews to the altar or the columns that stand in a row?  Is it the arched framed alcoves or the sunlight cast in every hue?  Is it the winged eyes peering from the corners or the vaulted ceilings which float with grace above.  Proud, they share a faith in their stonework and with whispers we gaze on in awe.  Et In Arcadia Ego .. J.
