Excerpt from The Man in the Pulpit As I cross Westminster Bridge this November Sunday afternoon a shuttle of bright sound is flung across the sombre imperturbable Thames into the fragile Parliament that tosses up its fantastic mists on the points of its innumerable spears. A loom of bells! To and fro the shimmering threads of music dart until the romantic air is hung with warp and woof of changing and chiming melody. The merry gnomes of smoke throw fairy chaplets from the sky, enwreathing sad roof and chimney with fading magic and perishable glamour and melting wonder. Master masons these, out of the breath of London building castles and palaces and cathedrals whose walls and towers and spires are ruined ere they rise, visionary architecture of dreams.
