    There was King Bradmond's palace,
    Was never none richer, the story says:
    For all the windows and the walls
    Were painted with gold, both towers and halls;
    Pillars and doors all were of brass;
    Windows of latten were set with glass;
    It was so rich in many wise,
    That it was like a paradise.

When I lately stood with a friend before [the cathedral of]
Amiens, . . . he asked me how it happens that we can no longer
build such piles? I replied: "Dear Alphonse, men in those days
had convictions (Ueberzeugungen), we moderns have opinions
(Meinungen) and it requires something more than an opinion to
build a Gothic cathedral.
