      Note/s:
      • Epigraph: While they lasted ... they were not the Middle Ages at all. They hadn't the faintest idea that they were medieval. John Livingston Lowes.
      • Contains the author's historical notes on 45 of the poems (107-118).
      • Author's note: In this poem I have tried to build an English cathedral and to suggest the life it held, particularly in the Middle Ages. Although Salisbury is its core, I have not attempted a portrait of any one cathedral but have included features and incidents from many (107).
