postcard from salisbury


to: ms in a large metropolitan area
15 june 09

today we went to salisbury cathedral. it was completely built in 30 some years, from 1220 to 1258. in one book i looked at on english gothic architecture, it stated that the architecture of the cathedral may be too perfect, giving it a cold, impersonal feeling. do you think a building be too perfect? (or is 'too perfect' an oxymoron?)

and what about that modern baptismal font? could fonts be fountains? probably not. but why not?

thinking of you and art, love, j
