The image of the Virgin sitting next to Beckett, in her own chapel, and darning, obviously seated where the sun casts its glow through the windows to better light her needlework - - I can see it vividly. and i heard it. "the chapel of Our Lady at the head of the choir..." i was thinking that that would have been the axial chapel of the new and quite magnificent choir (sorry, can't seem to locate a snap on the web), which happens to be the most accoustically perfect building i've ever been in, perhaps partly because of the extraordinarily precise way it is laid out --only a few centimeters difference in the size of the chapels from one side of the hemicycle to the other. but Becket was there in or shortly after 1164 (?), and the new choir is, i believe, from the 1170's. so it goes. best from here, christopher where few passed save at the hour of her Office, it came into his mind that he would try what he might do for the mending of the said hair breeches. And he took them off his body very discreetly, and examined them where they should be sewed. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
