... These columns are alternately simple and compound. The latter are square pilasters, each fronted by a cylindrical column, which of course projects farther into the nave than the simple columns; and thus the nave is divided into bays. This system is imitated in the gothic cathedral at Sens.

Angular brackets, sculptured with knots, grotesque heads, and foliage, are affixed to the base of these derivative pillars. ...
