Excerpt from York Minster: The Very Rev. Sean Purey-Cust "Ut Trosa flos florum sic est domus istadomorum" are the words which some unknown hand has inscribed upon, the walls of our Minster; and we who love the habitation of His house and the place where God's honour dwelleth venture to think that these are "words of truth and soberness" even now, though we remember that when they were written there were many features of art and taste adorning the great fabric which have long since passed away.
