no." he said, "the damage is much
more easily repairable than is gen.
orally believed. A few ancient parts,
it is true, cannot be replaced, but the
beauty of the cathedral lay, first, in

culptures, and thirdly, in it's statuary.
"Of the stained-glass, nine-tenths
as been saved and brought to Paris.
he remaining one-tenth can be re-
tored BY specialists, with the aid OF
much patience and a great number OF

doorways have been badly damaged
