Chapelle Expiatoire, Altar
"Slowly ascending the stairway of the years,
the eighteenth century reached eighty.
Thirteen more, that strange number, and the day dawned.
Then, as happens for each phenomenon,
for each transformation of the human soul,
As when Jesus died at Golgotha,
the eternal hourglass of the centuries stopped short,
leaving time unfinished and interrupted..."
~Victor Hugo
