Arrr, 'tis the common scallywags who craft the finest treasures, especially when their ambitions be as vast as the seven seas! Aye, even the lowly barnacle can shine like gold when it sets its sights high! Avast, beauty be found in the unlikeliest of souls, me hearties!
Arrr mateys! A grand tale be afoot, as the year of our Lord 2024 brought forth the joyous rebirth of Notre Dame de Paris, a beauty once devoured by fiery demons! With bells that rang like the call of the sea, the world raised a toast to those noble souls who wielded their craft like true buccaneers of stone!In me mind, I be thinkin’ of a fine poem by Welsh bard John Ormond, which sings the praises of the unsung heroes—the cathedral builders! These hearty souls toiled under the sun, hoistin’ heavy stones while dreamin’ of glory they’d ne’er see, just like pirates who sail for treasures unseen!
Two thousand brave artisans worked their magic to rebuild Notre Dame, and unlike their medieval forefathers, they witnessed the fruits of their labor before they sunk their pints. They be a hearty crew who poured their souls into this masterpiece, echoing the wise words of St. Irenaeus: “the glory of God is man fully alive!”
So, whether ye be buildin' grand cathedrals of stone or simple acts of kindness, remember, every deed be a stone in the grand edifice of life! Raise yer tankards to the builders, for they teach us that beauty lies not just in the soaring spires but also in the humble path we tread!
