Absolutely heartbreaking destruction by fire of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris today.
My wife and I visited Notre Dame in 1985. It is one of the most magnificent structures in all the world. I have to think that the French have carefully documented it long before now - if nothing else because of the world wars.That is can be rebuilt is almost certainly not in questions. But it can never be truly reproduced. No matter how expertly they re-create the lost art, it can never be the same. Read it and weep.
