own" he writes, and then continues:
True, the noble magnifcence Of the
english estate Is not reproduced; but
there is general air OF the feudal
tradition, heightened by castle, tower
and battlement, which brings Norman
England appreciably nearer. Abbies
and monasteries. creations OF pure
architectural beauty there are not;
but the Rocco, the. Seccessio, and
that splendid Moorish type which
passes, strangely enough, for Gothic,
fairly represent the achievements.
The baronfal splendors of the old,
homes of the magnates. are first pat
riarchal and then wonderful"
Sweet Auburns.
Rural Hungary is still the dream
OF other days. the quaint, still life
which brooded In pre- Renaissance pic

grace of innocence upon its mighty

Pastoral Hungary has features all
