RHEIMS—WAR AND CHRIST
Reading edition
The commonest, ugliest stone put to mark the burial-place of a German grenadier is a more glorious and venerable monument than all the cathedrals of Europe put together.
Gen. von Disfurth In Hamburger Nachrichten.
Reduce to ashes the basilica of Rheims where Klodovig was anointed, where that Empire of Franks was born—the false brothers of the noble Teutons; burn that cathedral!
Written in the year 1814 by Jean-Joseph Goerres in the “Rheinische Merkin.”
