I do not have a single shard of religious belief, but I'm very sad right now.

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

13th century carpentry reduced to ashes...

Fuck.

The spire by Violet le duc.

Fuck. Fuck.

The 2012 bells.

Fuck!

A cathedral is not just a piece of heritage. People work on it continuously, it's millions of hours of work by, I don't know, thousand and thousand of people during centuries. it's like a living thing subtly changing and always renewing itself through the artistry, craftsmanship and dedication of all those working on it. And now, it's just burning.

Let's hope the stones of the vaults will hold the heat.

Edit: Apparently they mostly did. The towers also held the heat. but...

The 18th century organ. Edit: not beyond repair apparently.

All the stained glass windows. Edit: some destroyed, others not.

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Sorry, no smut tonight. Not in the mood...
