📖 Quote about architecture
L'archidiacre considéra quelque temps en silence le gigantesque édifice, puis étendant avec un soupir sa main vers le livre imprimé qui était ouvert sur la table et sa main droite vers Notre-Dame, et, promenant un triste regard du livre à l'église : — Hélas ! dit-il, ceci tuera cela.
The archdeacon looked at the gigantic edifice in silence for some time, then, with a sigh, extending his hand towards the printed book which was open on the table and his right hand towards Notre-Dame, and, looking sadly from the book to the church: — Alas! he said, this will kill that.
— Victor Hugo Besançon 1802-Paris 1885
