Between these images, the \u201cFour Sea\u00adsons\u201d (flow\u00aders for spring, sheaves and fruit for sum\u00admer, bare branch\u00ades for autumn, and a stove for win\u00adter) express the tran\u00adsience of earth\u00adly life. In both form and dec\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion, the low vestibule antic\u00adi\u00adpates the ele\u00adments of the nave. Thus, the two mar\u00adble con\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adals by J. J.
