	Homage to Notre Dame Notre Dame— Our Lady most famous cathedral in Paris and the world You have set souls aflame for 850 years— history surrounds your walls Now fire raged within you— your wooden roof collapsed and lofty spire toppled The North & South Towers and Rose stained-glass windows were saved without damage. Five hundred firefighters battled the blaze eight hours saved Christ's crown of thorns A crowd lined the Seine looked on with horror as if Paris was being beheaded. Were the Garoyles in repair to ward off this harm? And where are the angels? I lived nearby you in summer '79— sat by your Rose Window Drank your peace & quiet— O Blessings be with you Notre Dame will rise again. Peter Y.
