Glorious cathedral stained-glass

compositions look serenely down on
the crowded trading pits, where brok-
ers and spectators during more than
a generation have daily shouted and
gesticuIated, oblivious that there is
such a thing in the world as art.
Furthermore, 1t is revealed that the
windows are from the hands OF the
