“German poet Heinrich Heine was once asked why men no longer build cathedrals. He replied:
“People in those old times had convictions; we moderns only have opinions. And it needs more than a mere opinion to erect a Gothic cathedral.”
Cologne Cathedral took 632 years to complete. Does modern man have the necessary conviction to build something like this today?”
Can you believe someone visualized this, and a culture had so much faith and conviction they spent 6 centuries to build it?! 🤯
Beautiful. 🥹
