Antti katseli heitä turvallisen välimatkan päästä, suuren koivun varjoista. Hän nojasi puun röpelöiseen runkoon ja syötti metrilakua suuhunsa. Poikien löysät, hihoista käärityt flanellipaidat liehuivat tuulessa, laiskuuden ja muiden paheiden puolesta liputtaen.”

“Notre-Dame Cathedral is a magnificent sacred palace.”
“Notre-Dame est bien vieille : on la verra peut-être
Enterrer cependant Paris qu’elle a vu naître ;
Mais, dans quelque mille ans, le Temps fera broncher
Comme un loup fait un bœuf, cette carcasse lourde,
Tordra ses nerfs de fer, et puis d’une dent sourde
Rongera tristement ses vieux os de rocher !
Bien des hommes, de tous les pays de la terre
Viendront, pour contempler cette ruine austère,
Rêveurs, et relisant le livre de Victor :
— Alors ils croiront voir la vieille basilique,
Toute ainsi qu’elle était, puissante et magnifique,
Se lever devant eux comme l’ombre d’un mort !
[Odelettes (1834)]”

“Notre-Dame’s neighborhood has of course vastly improved since Victor Hugo’s day, although Bishop Sully certainly would not recognize Baron Haussmann’s vastly expanded parvis. Still, if you can catch a glimpse of Notre-Dame’s spire from the ancient Rue des Chantres or Place Maubert, and then follow the narrowest lanes you can find to the great cathedral’s western portals, you will be treading the path that countless medieval students and clerics have taken before you.
And then look up, and up, relishing this direct link with a distant past. Here is Notre-Dame, the noble survivor of the centuries. Here is Notre-Dame—truly a cathedral for the ages.”
