Fix this textTINTERN ABBEY.
Fix this text■THE River Wye, as most visitors to England are
Fix this text1 aware, among its superlatively beautiful and
Fix this textnotable attributes includes on its banks the loveliest
Fix this textruined abbey in the country and possibly in the world
Fix this text—Tintern, founded by the Cistercian order in 1131.
Fix this textThe abbey has been described as a “dream in stone,”
Fix this textto which might be added a dream set in some of the
Fix this textmost entrancing scenery to be found within the
Fix this textconfines of the Old Country. The late Prince Consort,
Fix this textwhose knowledge of art has never been questioned,
Fix this textdeclared Tintern to be the finest ruin in Europe, ergo,
Fix this textthe world. Those who have been privileged to visit
Fix this textTintern Abbey are conscious of its magic and com-
Fix this textpelling beauty and understand how poets have sung
Fix this textits glories and painters endeavored to portray some of
Fix this textits charms on canvas, while eminent architects from
Fix this textmost countries have ever professed astonishment at
Fix this textthe serene and perfect relation of all its parts one to
Fix this textanother. Many of these professional men took
Fix this textcareful measurements and made profound calculations,
Fix this textbut apparently with little success, for there is no modern
Fix this textGothic which, even faintly, reminds one of “incom-
Fix this textparable Tintern.” Here Barry came for suggestions
Fix this textwhen building the Houses of Parliament at West-
Fix this textminster. A distinguished architect wrote: “Of all
Fix this textgreat Gothic ruins Tintern perhaps least of all will
Fix this textyield the secrets of its perfect harmony to the hurried
Fix this textstudent. Where all is so beautiful, it were weak to
Fix this textpoint out especial features; but amongst the wealth
Fix this textof Gothic art here portrayed the visitor will do well
Fix this textnot to forget the noble west window, where the greater
Fix this textpart of its exquisite tracery is still to be seen. Tintern
Fix this textis not only admirable when studied as a whole, its
Fix this textdetails are of the most beautiful character and
Fix this textthoroughly compensate minute inspection.” Tintern
Fix this textbeing founded by the Cistercians, a few words respect-
Fix this texting that venerable and distinguished monastic order,
Fix this text“created” by Abbot Robert in 1098 at Coteaux
Fix this text(Cistercium), near Dijon, France. The order followed
Fix this textthe rule of St. Benedict, and, being free from episcopal
Fix this textcontrol, formed an ecclesiastical republic. St. Bernard
Fix this textof Clairvaux almost refounded the order. The saint
Fix this textwas a great hymn-writer, some of his productions
Fix this textbeing still universally known and admired, among the
Fix this textmost popular being those commencing “Jesu, the
Fix this textvery thought of Thee,” “Jesu, Thou joy of loving
Fix this texthearts” and “Jesus, King most wonderful.” Inci-
Fix this textdentally, it might be stated the famous Trappist order
Fix this textis an offshoot of the Cistercian.
