To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was efifective but illogical, for only a small part of the buttressing arch received any thrust whatever. Almost immediately, therefore, as in the Abbaye des Dames, the intervening areas were cut away and only the arch at each pier remained. This of course was a true flying buttress, but it was still concealed below the aisle roof, hence the clerestory was restricted in height to. the wall area of the vault alone. At Noyon, about the middle of the century, and apparently for the first time..., the abutting arch emerged into the open air and the flying buttress with all its possibilities had come into its own.
We have now, you will perceive, nearly, all the elements of the Gothic organism : the cruciform plan with wide transepts and deep choir, the vertical order of arcade, triforium and clerestory, pointed arches, ribbed and stilted vaults with oblong com- • partments, concentrated loads and thrusts, direct abutments, with the flying buttress in posse, and the intervening walls reduced by half in thickness; articulation expressed by compound piers and arches, with vault shafts well grounded from vault to floor, lofty proportions, complex compositions of [119] THE SUBSTANCE OF GOTHIC light and shade.
