I recently came across this .
" When I lately stood with a friend before [the cathedral of] Amiens, . . . he asked me how it happens that we can no longer build such piles? I replied: "Dear Alphonse, men in those days had convictions , we moderns have opinions and it requires something more than an opinion to build a Gothic cathedral" - Heinrich Heine
How true !!
