Chapter 109 Notre Dame
Standing in front of Notre Dame de Paris, a book flashed through Ye Lei's mind. She had read it in her lost memory and even knew the content very clearly, including its author: Victor Hugo.
What impressed Ye Lei the most was the sacrifice of the last two people for love. At that time and now, she deeply felt that Quasimodo loved Esmeralda, and his admiration for Esmeralda was a kind of love.
Tenderness mixed with gratitude, sympathy and respect, a selfless, eternal, noble and simple love, loyal and unswerving.
Ye Lei loves all beautiful things, so she cannot agree with Claude, who is sanctimonious, has a sinister heart, and does whatever it takes to satisfy his desires. He even hates all the beautiful things in the world, but unexpectedly, Ye Lei treats him
It’s not that he is annoying, after all, he is just a victim of religious asceticism. Long-term abstinence has distorted his soul. E de paris is a church building located on the Ile de la Cité in the center of Paris, France. It is also the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Paris.
Notre Dame Cathedral was built between 1163 and 1250. It is a Gothic architectural form and is a very important and representative one among the Gothic churches in the Île-de-France region. It was built in 1163 by Archbishop Maurice of Paris.
De Sully decided to build it, and the entire church was completed in 1345, which took more than 180 years.
Notre Dame de Paris is a Gothic-style Christian church and a symbol of ancient Paris. It stands on the banks of the Seine and is located in the center of the entire city of Paris. Its status and historical value are unparalleled, and it is one of the most glorious buildings in history. The
The church is famous for its Gothic architectural style, sculptures and paintings on the altar, cloisters, doors and windows, etc., as well as the large number of art treasures from the 13th to 17th centuries contained in the church. Although this is a religious building,
But it shines with the wisdom of the French people and reflects people’s pursuit and yearning for a better life.
Not far away, there happened to be a newlywed couple, shining brightly under the crowd. Witnessed by relatives and friends, and under the witness of God, they became husband and wife. For such people who can come together and commit to a lifetime,
Ye Lei was both a blessing and an envy. At least they could get blessings from their relatives and friends. When she thought about her own situation, she felt only bitterness in her heart.
"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Although he didn't like such crowded and noisy places, Chu Haoxuan still suggested it as long as he could stand next to Ye Lei.
Today is the fifth day after arriving in Paris. Ye Lei finally couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to come to Notre Dame de Paris, and Chu Haoxuan just happened to have time.
Thinking of the interior of the church where the wedding had just been held, Ye Lei nodded subconsciously and felt excited.
The interior of the church is extremely simple, rigorous and solemn, with almost no decorations. Entering the interior of the church, countless vertical lines attract people to look up. The dozens of meters high vaults are dim and twinkling in the dim light, adding to the religious reverie.
, it seems like heaven is above.
There are large rosette-shaped round windows at both ends of the wings of the main hall, which are full of magnificent stained glass books made in the 13th century. On the north column is the famous "E-de-Paris"
Statue. This statue was built in the 14th century. It was first placed in the Saint-Aniang Chapel and later moved here.
The rose-shaped round window on the south side. This huge window was built in the 13th century but was restored in the 18th century. It depicts the scene of Jesus Christ giving a blessing surrounded by virgins. It has gorgeous colors and detailed glass inlays.
, giving people the impression that a brilliant star is twinkling, which shines colorful light into every corner of the room.
Rows of candlesticks are placed on the right side of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Dozens of white candles illuminate the courtyard, filling the courtyard with a soft atmosphere. The hall can accommodate 9,000 people, of which 1,500 people sit in front of a podium. Behind the podium are three statues, left and right.
The statues are of King Louis XIII and Louis XIV. They both looked at the central Pieta statue. Jesus was lying on the lap of the Virgin. The Virgin looked very sad. There are many murals, sculptures, and icons in the courtyard.
Therefore, there is an endless stream of tourists coming to visit. The large pipe organ in the hall is also very famous, with a total of 6,000 pipes and a rich and loud tone, especially suitable for playing hymns and tragic music.
Looking at such a church, Ye Lei couldn't hide the excitement in her heart. She could almost imagine how happy the two people who held the wedding here and received recognition and witness would be.
"That's great." Ye Lei couldn't help but murmured, her heart surging.
Chu Haoxuan saw Ye Lei's longing face and stood behind Ye Lei watching her quietly. He didn't know what made Ye Lei so excited, let alone why he was just standing here.
It can make her so happy. When he heard that Ye Lei was coming here, Chu Haoxuan naturally knew something about Notre Dame, but he didn't expect Ye Lei to be so excited.
Suddenly, Chu Haoxuan couldn't help but fantasize in his mind, imagining Ye Lei standing here in a white wedding dress. He thought it must be beautiful. Thinking of this, the corners of his lips raised slightly.
On a whim, Ye Lei opened her mouth: "Xuan, those who come here will definitely be blessed, right? They will also be happy, right?"
Chu Haoxuan understood what Ye Lei was referring to. He wanted to tell her that not everyone could make it to the end, but he couldn't bear to tell her this cruel fact, so he just nodded slightly.
Ye Lei smiled, sweet and happy, as if he was praising her, and the joy on her face could not be concealed.
"Xuan, if possible, I would also like to be here to witness every couple who comes here to pray for happiness. It must be wonderful. I will also tell them that love is the joint efforts of two people. Don't be afraid of difficulties, just be tolerant.
To face it, no matter what happens, they will be able to hold hands until they grow old."
The beauty in Ye Lei's statement remained in Chu Haoxuan's heart every word.
"You want to be a nun?" Chu Haoxuan said for no reason.
Ye Lei was stunned for a moment, then thought of what Chu Haoxuan was talking about, and her face turned red: "I just imagined it."
Yes, imagine, Ye Lei has forgotten what she used to be like, but now, she has a lover, and for the person in front of her whom she loves deeply, she is willing to give up some of the things she longs for. After all, no matter who it is, a person
People will always feel lonely. Even if that person has everything, as long as there is no one to share it with, he will definitely feel empty inside.
