Dialogue Five   Visiting St. Paul's Cathedral
  Allen: Is that the famous St. Paul's Cathedral?
Betty: Yes. Although city skyscrapers now tower over St. Paul's, none of these new building has the dignity and presence of Christopher Wren’s baroque church.
A: It seems to preside over London like a benevolent spirit. It's said that St. Paul's Cathedral is the only English cathedral built between the Reformation and the late nineteenth century.
B: Yes, it's also exceptional that it took 35 years to complete the construction.
A: Now we are entering from the west end.
B: And inside, there is an unbroken vista down the full length of the church. From the back of the nave, you would see the marble alter designed by Stephen Dykes Brower.
A: Where is the Whispering Gallery?
B: It's in the south side. A whisper against the wall is said to be clearly audible over a hundred feet away across the void.
