ocr: Tintern Abbey View inside the great nave When we stood at one end of this awful piece of ruin, and surveyed the whole in one view, the elements of air and earth, its only covering and pave- ment; and the grand and venerable remains which terminated both; perfect enough to form the perspect- ive, yet broken enough to destroy the regular- ity; the eye was above measure delighted with the beauty, the greatness, and the novelty of the scene. William Gilpin, Cbservations 022 the fiser- Pse 5th ed, 1800. (Photo: S. Reimer)
