zhollows 's review for:
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
by Victor Hugo
“'Time is voracious and man is even more so.' Which I should translate thus, 'Time is blind, man stupid.'”
“Egypt would have taken him for the god of this temple; the Middle Ages believed him to be its demon: he was in fact its soul.
To such an extent was this disease that for those who know that Quasimodo has existed, Notre-Dame is to-day deserted, inanimate, dead. One feels that something has disappeared from it. That immense body is empty; it is a skeleton; the spirit has quitted it, one sees its place and that is all. It is like a skull which still has holes for the eyes, but no longer sight.”
