圣马克堂是方场的主人，建筑在十一世纪，原是拜占庭式，以直线为主。十四世纪加上哥特式的装饰，如尖拱门等；十七世纪又参入文艺复兴期的装饰，如阑干等。所以庄严华妙，兼而有之；这正是威尼斯人的漂亮劲儿。教堂里屋顶与墙壁上满是碎玻璃嵌成的画，大概是真金色的地，蓝色或红色的圣灵像。这些像做得非常肃穆。教堂的地是用大理石铺的，颜色花样种种不同。在那种空阔阴暗的氟围中，你觉得伟丽，（甲）觉得森严。教堂左右那两溜儿楼房，式样各别，（乙）不对称；钟楼高三百；十二英尺，（丙）偏在一边儿。（丁）这两溜房子都是三层，都有许多拱门，恰与教堂的门面与圆顶相称；又都是白石造成，越衬出教堂的金碧辉煌来。教堂右边是向运河去的路，是一个小方场，本来显得空阔些，钟楼恰好填了这个空子。好像我们戏里大将出场，后面一杆旗子总是偏着取势；这方场中的建筑，节奏其实是和谐不过的。十八世纪意大利卡那来陀一派画家专画威尼斯的建筑，取材于这方场的很多。德国德莱司敦画院中有几张，真好。

Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories，By the North Gate，in 1963，two years after she had received her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and become an instructor English at the University of Detroit.Her productivity since then has been prodigious，accumulating in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles，including novels，collections of short stories and verse，plays，and literary criticism.In the meantime，she has continued to teach，moving in 1967from the University of Detroit to the University of Windsor，in Ontario，and in 1978，to Princeton University.Reviewers have admired her enormous energy，but find a productivity of such magnitude difficult to assess.
In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors such as John Barth，Donald Barthelme，and Thomas Pynchon，Joyce Carol Oates has seemed at times determinedly old-fashioned in her insistence on the essentially mimetic quality of her fiction.Hers is a world of violence，insanity，fractured love，and hopeless loneliness.Although some of it appears to come from her own direct observations，her dreams，and her fears，much more is clearly from the experiences of others.Her first novel，With Shuddering Fall （1964），dealt with stock car racing，though she had never seen a race.In Them （1964）she focused on Detroit from the Depression through the riots of 1967，drawing much of her material from the deep impression made on her by the problems of one of her students.Whatever the source and however shocking the events or the motivations，however，her fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers，the television news and talk shows，and the popular magazines of our day.
