The great Hugo built his "Notre Dame of Paris" from images and words, he gave us an amazing opportunity to quench the thirst for time, embodied in stone, to comprehend the meaning of his own silent amazement in the face of frozen perfection - the example of living passions, driven by the opposition of good and evil to the inevitable conversion to dust.
