The Stones of Venice, Volume 3

By: Ruskin, John

"I trust that the reader has been enabled, by the preceding chapters, to form some conception of the magnificence of the streets of Venice during the course of the thirteenth and fourteenth centu-ries. Yet by all this magnificence she was not su-premely distinguished above the other cities of the middle ages. Her early edifices have been pre-served to our times by the circuit of her waves; while continual recurrences of ruin have defaced the glory of her sister cities. But such fragments as are still left in their lonely squares, and in the cor-ners of their streets, so far from being inferior to the buildings of Venice, are even more rich, more finished, more admirable in invention, more exu-berant in beauty."
