width, sumptuous decoraGon and finely executed pictures, which divert the aKenGon of those who are praying.” – Bernard of Clairvaux, Apologia. Nave, Fontenay Abbey, France, 1139-‐1147. Nave, Monastery at Cluny, France, 1088-‐1130.
that marvelous and deformed comeliness, that comely deformity?...So many and so marvelous are the varieGes of divers shapes on every hand that we are more tempted to read in the marble than in our books, and spend the whole day in wondering at these things than in meditaGng upon the law of God. For God’s sake, if men are not ashamed of these follies, why at least do they not shrink from the expense?” –Bernard of Clairvaux Historiated Capital with Lions’ Heads, Cloister, Priory Church, Moissac, France, c. 1115.
him away from external cares…dwelling in some strange region of the universe which neither exists enGrely in the slime of the earth nor enGrely in the purity of heaven… transported from this inferior to that higher world.” “We profess that we must do homage through the outward ornaments of sacred vessels, and to nothing in the world in an equal degree to the service of the Holy Sacrifice, with all inner purity and with all outward splendor.” Abbot Suger, Jesse Window, St. Denis, c. 13th century.
is won with such skill that it may be mulGplied. It is expended so that it may be increased, and pouring it out produces abundance. The Reason is that the very sight of these costly but wonderful illusions inflames the men more to give than to pray.” “To me [golden images] somehow represent the ancient rite of the Jews… Or is it that since we have been mingled with the genGles, perhaps we have also adopted their ways and even serve their idols.” “O vanity of vaniGes, but no more vain than insane! The Church is radiant in its walls and desGtute in its poor. It dresses its stones in gold and it abandons its children naked. It serves the eyes of the rich at the expense of the poor. The curious find that which may delight them, but those in need do not find that which should sustain them.”
“And what of the sun’s rays? Light comes from the good, and light is an image of this archetypal Good. Thus the Good is also by the name “Light,” just as an archetype is real in its image. The goodness of the transcendent God reaches from the highest and most perfect forms of being to the very lowest. And yet it remains above and beyond them all, superior to the highest and yet stretching out to the lowliest. It gives light to everything capable of receiving it, it creates them, keeps them alive, preserves and perfects them. Everything looks to it for measure, eternity, number, order. It is the power, which embraces the universe. It is the Cause of the universe and its end.” –Pseudo Dionysus
“Elegant and praiseworthy extension in [the form of] a circular string of chapels, by virtue of which the whole [church] would shine with the wonderful and uninterrupted light of most sacred windows, pervading in the interior beauty.”—Abbot Suger
St. Denis, France, 1140-‐1144. The naGons will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resGng place will be glorious.
Spirit The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. Tree of Jesse, Apse Chapel, Abbey Church of St. Denis, France, 1140-‐1144.
