International studio . Thinker of deep thoughts, hewer of glisten-ing Carrara, George Grey Barnard has setthese Cloisters upon Washington Heights, looking to the sunrise, as all altars do, andall orientations must, whatever star be theirsun. It is the star of Beauty that is in theascendant here. Travelling in the Languedoc, Mr. Barnard became interested in the ruinedmonastery of .St. Guilhem. Believing thatstone can never be lost, this lover of stone, this understander of the hearts of marbles, searched the country-side for lost capitals, broken key-stones, strayed statuar, misplacedlancets, and, to shorten the story of a pil-grimage, found, in underbrush or under thesoil of the fields of the peasants, in their gar-dens, and under their thatched roofs, enoughof relics partially to restore and present as hisgift to France, the Monastery of St. Guilhemdu Desert, and at the same time to bring overfrom his purchases and discoveries the Clois-ters that he has reconstructed here.
