DOÑA MATILDE. Con todo, padre mío, no crea usted que trato de rebelarme contra su autoridad, y si el hombre de mi elección no mereciese, como me temo, el sufragio de usted.... DON EDUARDO. Dígole a usted que.... DOÑA MATILDE. Entonces ... no seré nunca de otro ... eso no ... pero gemiré en silencio sin ser suya, o iré a sepultarme en las lobregueces del claustro.
Inside the whole building is about sixty feet long by thirty wide, and consists of a nave with aisles about thirty feet long, a transept the width of the central aisle but barely projecting beyond the walls, a square choir with a chapel on each side, followed by an apse; east of the north choir chapel is a small sacristy, and east of the south a newel-less stair like that in the Claustro de Sta.
Leaving the Claustro dos Filippes for the present, we must return to Batalha for a little, and then mention some buildings in which the early renaissance details recall some of the work at Thomar. The younger Fernandes had died in 1528, leaving the Capellas Imperfeitas very much in the state in which they still remain.
He was warmly complimented on his success, but the Claustro was less profuse of deeds than of words.
However, whatever may be its origin, this tracery it is which makes the Claustro Real not only the most beautiful cloister in Portugal, but even, as that may not seem very great praise, one of the most beautiful cloisters in the world, and it must have been even more beautiful before a modern restoration crowned all the walls with a pierced Gothic parapet and a spiky cresting, whose angular form and sharp mouldings do not quite harmonise with the rounded and gentle curves of the tracery below.
And for want of a hundred cart-loads of stone which I had worked at the quarry doors and windows I have not finished the students' studies' probably in the noviciate near the Claustro da Micha. 'The studies are raised to more than half their height and in eight days' work I shall finish them if only I had oxen, for those I had have died.
The great Claustro do Silencio at Alcobaça was, as an inscription tells, begun in the year 1310, when on April 13th the first stone was laid by the abbot in the presence of the master builder Domingo Domingues.
Under the pavement of the cloister as well as under the Claustro dos Corvos is a great cistern. On the south was the kitchen and the oil cellar, on the east the dispensary, and on the west a great oven and wood-store with three large halls above, which seem to have been used by the Inquisition. The lodgings of the Dom Prior were above the cloister to the north.
