जानिए गोवा कि सबसे खुबसूरत इमारत के बारे में

गोवा की सबसे पुरानी और प्रतिष्ठित धार्मिक इमारतों में से यह 16 वीं शताब्दी का भव्य स्मारक है , जिसे पुर्तगाल शासन के दौरान रोमन कैथोलिक ने बनवाया था । यह एशिया का सबसे बड़ा चर्च है । यह कैथेड्रल एलेक्सेंड्रिया की सेंट कैथरीन को समर्पित है । सेंट कैथरीन के भोज के दिन 1510 ई . में अल्फोंसो डी अल्बुकर्क ने मुस्लिम सेना को पराजित किया और गोवा शहर का स्वामित्व लिया । अतः इसे सेंट कैथरीन का कैथेड्रल भी कहते हैं और यह पुर्तगाल में बने किसी भी चर्च से बड़ा है ।

इसके विशाल मुक्त द्वार का निर्माण 1562 में किंग डोम सेबास्टियो ( 1557-78 ) ने करवाया था । इसे 1619 में काफी हद तक पूरा किया गया था और 1640 में इसे अर्पित किया गया । यह चर्च 250 फीट लंबा और 181 फीट चौड़ा है । इसका अगला हिस्सा 115 फीट ऊंचा है । यह भवन पुर्तगाली - गोथिक शैली में टस्कन बाह्य सज्जा तथा कोरिथयन अंदरुनी सज्जा के साथ बनाया गया है । कैथेड्रल का बाह्य हिस्सा शैली की सादगी के लिए उल्लेखनीय है ।

The clerks make me nervous; the little windows at the counters make me nervous the sight of the money makes me nervous; everything makes me nervous. The moment I go through the door of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I knew this before I went in, but my salary had been raised to fifty six dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place. For it. So I walked in with dragging feet and looked shyly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account was obliged to consult the manager. I went up to a counter marked ‘Accountant’. The Accountant was a tall, cool fellow. The very sight of him made me nervous. My voice was deep and hollow . can I see the manager? I said, and added solemnly alone. I don’t know why I said ‘alone’. certainly, siad the accountant, and fetch...

Tree by Tina Morris

Tree They did not tell us What it would be like without trees. Nobody imagined that the whispering of leaves Would grow silent Or the vibrant jade of spring Pale to grey Death. And now we pile Rubbish on rubbish But though the shape is right And the nailed branches Lean upon the wind and plastic leaves lend colour to the twigs. We wait in vain for the slow unfurling of buds. And no amount of loving can stir our weary tree to singing.                               - Tina Morris
