The Saxon architect completed the erection of the first pillars of the nave, when the pointed arch, which dates from the Crusade, arrived and placed itself as a conqueror upon the large Romanesque capitals which should support only round arches.
L’architecte saxon achevait de dresser les premiers piliers de la nef, lorsque l’ogive qui arrivait de la croisade est venue se poser en conquérante sur ces larges chapiteaux romans qui ne devaient porter que des pleins cintres.
