TINTERN ABBEY.  

■THE River Wye, as most visitors to England are  

aware, among its superlatively beautiful and  

notable attributes includes on its banks the loveliest  

ruined abbey in the country and possibly in the world  

—Tintern, founded by the Cistercian order in 1131.  

The abbey has been described as “dream in stone,”  

to which might be added dream set in some of the  

most entrancing scenery to be found within the  

confines of the Old Country. The late Prince Consort,  

whose knowledge of art has never been questioned,  

declared Tintern to be the finest ruin in Europe, ergo,  

the world. Those who have been privileged to visit  

Tintern Abbey are conscious of its magic and com-  

pelling beauty and understand how poets have sung  

its glories and painters endeavored to portray some of  

its charms on canvas, while eminent architects from  

most countries have ever professed astonishment at  

the serene and perfect relation of all its parts one to  

another. Many of these professional men took  

careful measurements and made profound calculations,  

but apparently with little success, for there is no modern  

Gothic which, even faintly, reminds one of “incom-  

parable Tintern.” Here Barry came for suggestions  

when building the Houses of Parliament at West-  

minster. distinguished architect wrote: “Of all  

great Gothic ruins Tintern perhaps least of all will  

yield the secrets of its perfect harmony to the hurried  

student. Where all is so beautiful, it were weak to  

point out especial features; but amongst the wealth  

of Gothic art here portrayed the visitor will do well  

not to forget the noble west window, where the greater  

part of its exquisite tracery is still to be seen. Tintern  

is not only admirable when studied as whole, its  

details are of the most beautiful character and  

thoroughly compensate minute inspection.” Tintern  

being founded by the Cistercians, few words respect-  

ing that venerable and distinguished monastic order,  

“created” by Abbot Robert in 1098 at Coteaux  

(Cistercium), near Dijon, France. The order followed  

the rule of St. Benedict, and, being free from episcopal  

control, formed an ecclesiastical republic. St. Bernard  

of Clairvaux almost refounded the order. The saint  

was great hymn-writer, some of his productions  

being still universally known and admired, among the  

most popular being those commencing “Jesu, the  

very thought of Thee,” “Jesu, Thou joy of loving  

hearts” and “Jesus, King most wonderful.” Inci-  

dentally, it might be stated the famous Trappist order  

is an offshoot of the Cistercian.
