a: Notre Dame Burning ~
b: near-extinction of Christianity
What:
"I could not stop myself from seeing it as a metaphor - for the near-extinction of Christianity, the metaphysics that underpins so much of the West's distinctiveness and coherence: its defense of the individual soul as inviolate, for example. It remains an open question whether liberalism, broadly understood, can survive the loss of its metaphysical foundations. "

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
