I’m so glad I got to see it before the fire. From what I’ve seen from the restoration it looks very beautiful but I absolutely loved the old look before the fire.
You were right the first time.
I really need to learn how to cope.
Maybe we should think of the prior dusky look as a product of many decades of smoke and pollution. Removing that is much like taking the varnish off an old painting to bring back its true colors or cleaning the Sistine Chapel to reveal the shockingly (to us) brightness of the original frescoes. Though the restored cathedral is startling to us now it is probably what it looked like when it was first built. It’s still amazing, though admittedly surprising to view now.
