The Hunchback of Notre Dame Book 4 Chapter III - Immanis Pecoris Custos, Immanior Ipse

In which we witness the solitary and haunting existence of Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, whose life is so intertwined with the ancient cathedral that he becomes almost part of its very stones and spirits. Cut off from the world by his afflictions and deafness, he finds in the mighty bells a fierce and poignant communion, giving voice and life to the sombre monument that is both his refuge and his universe.
