Meanings
-
In a gothic way.
We sit at a cafe in the crisp morning air, looking down the gradually descending town square towards the gothically vertiginous fifteenth-century St Egidius church. The platz is ringed by steeply gabled pastel burghers' houses and in the centre sits the medieval town hall.
