"So much so that, to those who know that Quasimodo once existed, Notre-Dame is now deserted, inanimate, dead. They feel that something has disappeared. That vast body is empty - it is a skeleton - the spirit has quitted it - they see its place and that is all. It is like a skull, which still has holes for eyes, but no longer sight".
