It's not often sunny in Paris, but
people still love to walk along the bank of the Seine. They love the view of
the city's old buildings, especially Notre Dame Cathedral, with its iconic
spire (标志性塔尖).
Unfortunately, that view has been
forever changed. On April 16 a fire destroyed the spire of the 850-year-old
wooden Notre Dame Cathedral built in 1163, and two-thirds of the roof.
The fire shocked and saddened
Parisians. Citizens gathered around the giant church, singing hymns (赞美诗) and praying for the hundreds of
firefighters who fought the flames.
"The importance of Notre Dame, not
only to Catholics (天主教) but to all Parisians, cannot be underestimated (低估)," wrote French author
Bernard-Henri Levy. "For many in France, it's more than a house of
worship. It's a symbol of French culture, architecture and history."
The church is also home to many
religious artworks, paintings and sculptures. Luckily, its world-famous colored
glass windows survived the fire. These windows are made of many small pieces of
glass and feature various Christian images.
Despite its long history and many
treasures, the Cathedral needed the help of a writer to become truly famous.
Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, presented the building
to a wide audience of readers. The book's ugly lead character, Quasimodo,
serves as a symbol for Paris' forgotten Gothic (哥特式的) architecture. Hugo wrote the book to
remind people of it, with the hope that they would work to protect the
beautiful old buildings of Paris
French President Emmanuel Macron has
promised to reconstruct the historic building. "Note Dame is our history,
our literature and it's our imagery," he said in a public speech following
the fire.
