    EPIGRAPH: O Notre-Dame, Notre Dame, rock-like, mountain-like, eagle-like, crouching-lion-like cathedral reef sunk in vast air, square pillar of Paris, sealed by the blinding splatters of rain, taking the slapping wind head-on. O soaring in front, Notre-Dame of Paris, it's me, looking up at you. It's that Japanese. My heart trembles now that I see you. Looking at your form like a tragedy, a young man from a distant country is moved. Not knowing for what reason, my heart pounds in union with the screams in the air, resounds as if terrified.
