Gone...
Burned down, collapsed... a masterpiece of Medieval Gothic architecture that has remained with us for many centuries and it's gone, even if it could be rebuilt all the art work, the stained glass, records, antics all those these intimate details within cannot be rebuilt. It will not be Notre Dame it will be something else that cannot replace the old.
I've been there once when I was 15 on a schoold trip and I never got to see much of it just the main floor, I wanted to go back there and take my wife there who had never been there before and now I can't.
No doubt all of you know this already and I am sorry for this journal but Notre Dame has a special meaning to me not just because I was marvelled by it was I first saw it during my teens but because I learned long ago that Notre Dame was going to be pulled down during the colonel times in favour of modern architect. It was already too old in that time but that cathedral was saved thanks to a story called the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Because of that novel Notre Dame the people were reminded of it's importance and had preserved it fully instead of changing it or knocking it down it was made stronger standing for centuries onward and has always been an inspiration for artists, architectures, sculptures, writers, engineers ect.
Notre Dame is proof that a single building can mean just as much as a loved one, a prized possession, a home, a place, a goal anything at all.
Still nothing lasts forever.
I will be watching my Favourite Disney movie ever The Hunchback of Notre Dame soon
Hope you all are doing well
