Chartres and Prose Poems

Jean Garrigue, photographs by Henri Le Secq

1970

Now all is mystery and forest and fortress, too, and shelter. A forest, a fortress, a shelter, a city, this city of love, this symbol of faith in what is not visible made visible...and by the stone angel that at the corner of the south belltower holds a sundial like a shield against its breast.

This book reaffirms that the cultural past is now more, not less essential to us. With seven photographs by Henri le Secq from the 1850s.
