You will not be surprised to hear that I reached here without mishap (Yawolla being with you!) as I am sure you have anticipated my delight in the cathedral and in King's College which is attached to the cathedral. The lecture room is a hall in the gate-house and, originally, part of the monastry - delightful to lecture in. The splendid Gothic sections of the cathedral support my contention that in Gothic 'anything goes': the octagon is avanishinginvention, more beautiful in livenrhythyms, leading up through diminshing ribs and panels, than startling in dramatic chiaroscuro. There are four 'decorated' lights in the octagonal crossing anyway which provide plenty of light, belowthat lanterns. The tombs (including a chantry in which late Gothic & Guileo Romano grotesque mingle) are, of course, interesting but they are repainted freshly - normally one is pleased to see this, as at Wells, - but the paint here is rather worn and not crisp in effect. The Roundheads despoiled the Lady Chapel, beheading every figure in a complex series of legendary scenes from the virgin's life, but you'll be glad to hear that the monastic buildings, now the school, are being intelligently restored every holiday - stupid walls being removed & old archways opened, and so on. The Headmaster showed me round, explaining this part of the buildings. The Early English tiled floor of the School's Chapel has an Adam & Eve and a pelican guarded by lions.

Dearest Sylvia,
You will not be surprised to hear that I reached here without
mishap (Yawalla being with you!) and I am sure you have anti-
cipated my delight in the cathedral and in King's College which
is attached to the cathedral. The lecture room is a hall in
the gate-house and, originally, part of the monastry - delight-
ful to lecture in. The splendid Gothic sections of the cath-
edral support my contention that in Gothic 'anything goes' :
the octagon is a vanishing invention, more beautiful in linear
rhythms, leading up in through diminishing rifs and panels, most
startling in dramatic charoscuro. There are some 'decorated'
lights in the octagonal crossing anyway which provide plenty
of light, below the lantern. The limbs (including a clanty
in which late Gothic & Guidio Romano grotesque mingle) are,
of course, interesting but they are repainted freshly - normally
one is pleased to see this, as at Wells - but the paint here is
rather work & not crisp in effect. The Roundheads despoiled
the lady chapel, beheading every figure in a couple series of
legendary scenes from the virgins' life, but you'll be glad
to hear that the buildings, now the school, are
being intelligently restored every holiday - stupid walls
being removed & old archways opened, and so on. The Headmaster showed me round, explaining this part of the
buildings. The Early England tiled floor of the school's chapel
has an Adam & Eve and a pelican guarded by lions.

he uses lots of school boy slang, he is liberal and enlightened,
