Capitolo 75
what happened to the fleche of Rentals still improve; for the clocher
to Vendome that is of the same date,--Viollet-she-Duc it says first,
and Enlart, "later it 1130"--was standing and it is still standing free, as a
Italian bell tower that gives him an enormous advantage. The tower of
Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, also after 1130, it is standing free, above of the second
plain. You as soon as it will find indeed, in the long list of famous
French buds, an anything else other than you/he/she has been treated with so a lot of unworthy treatment
as this, the greatest and more famous of everybody; and perhaps the more anymore

and the grandeur of composition in which the artist has given test
of the rare sobriety, where all the effects are gotten, not from
ornaments, but from the solo and proportion skilled of the different one
parts. The transition, so very hard to repair, among the square base
and the octagon of the fleche, is handled and it brought out with a
I address that has not been old in similar monuments." One
you stumble a small to the word the "adresse." One not takings never one is same
