Very tragic indeed. Norte Dame Cathedral represented so much more than a church that witnessed centuries of history. It is a statement of the transcendence of the soul into the heavens expressed by an integration of light and upward movements of architecture which required the buttresses we identify her with, a representation of the hierarchy of the relationship between man, the clergy, and God as well as how that changed, and mans place in Western Civilization in general.
