The hateful column of bolted sheetiron that was to be the Eiffel Tower would cast a pall over Paris for twenty years. "Everybody feels it, everybody says it, everybody is deeply grieved." M. Eiffel, of course, begged to differ.
And within two years, the sophisticates of Paris were singing a different tune. "The result has not been what was predicted."
The Eiffel Tower was 120 years old last month. I love this scene from "The Lavender Hill Mob." A giddy Alec Guinness performs a trying descent, indeed!
