Notebook M p.54 ‘No 34. Two traceries from left hand cusp of same window The one, at A gives nearly the base of the cusp as it dies into the arch: and the other, at B nearly the apex. The line of the enclosing arch is seen in two places at the edge of the paper in B: and all along in A: the paper was bent into it. in B some attempt was made to trace the bottom of the cusp chamfer. The two lines about express its depth. Now note in this architecture, the exquisite grace of the great cusp, whose line is one unbroken curve melting into the other, as theoretically foliation ought to be’
