Lichfield Cathedral.
"Though, comparatively with
the greater minsters, of small proportions, yet with its
three beautiful spires, its richness of ornament, and grace
and loveliness, it presents even now an effect almost
magical, while it stands solitary and alone without cloister
or precinct wall, gate or ancient monastic building. It is
the most complete to the eye. Of a pale rose colour, it
looks as if hewn out of some soft mellow sunset
The fading tints of western skies."
