Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1

    plural clear·sto·ries.

    • : clerestory.

Examples

  • By 1504 the clearstory windows of the nave were all in place.

  • And between tribune and clearstory are square apertures neither Romanesque nor Gothic.

  • Originally, beneath the clearstory were small circular unglassed apertures giving on the rafters over the tribune.

  • The choirs triforium arches were cut off, later, to lengthen the clearstory windows, and the nave has been revaulted.

  • Certainly the main clearstory is dwarfed by comparison, and the contrast in height between inner and outer aisle is too violent.
