[Original caption] Leaving the Temple. Here, at the site of the temple, lie the shores of the worshippers, still within, awaiting them, and the red slipper provided for those whose hour of prayer is not yet come. Very beautiful is the temple gate, rich with wonderful carvings, and the wall-screen behind is latticed in a star-figure. The square hole in the base of the left-hand capital serves the same purpose as the Bocca di Leone. [end] |
