Note 406 — Chapter V · RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE
George Herbert Ely translation
[Churches I saw (cries Margaret), rich, beautiful, and old, And altars deck’d with images of silver and of gold; My heart was fill’d with pleasure as I heard new strains of song, And saw the gleaming tapers and the torches pass along, And heard the merry clash and clang of bells high overhead, To mortal ears astounding: oh, ’tis heaven below, I said.]
