When Bells Haunt and Beauty Bewitches: A Tale of Two Legends

 There's something about the deep toll of Notre Dame Cathedral bells that makes you understand why Quasimodo fell hard for them in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Those massive bronze voices echoing from the bell tower Notre Dame have a way of getting under your skin - much like Keats' haunting "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" poem about a knight enchanted by a mysterious beauty.

Speaking of enchantment:

• The Belle dame sans merci painting (that famous Waterhouse artwork) captures the poem's eerie magic perfectly
• Meanwhile at Salon Bella Dama (or is it Dama Bella Salon?), they're creating a different kind of beauty spell with highlights and blowouts

Fun connection:

• "Bella dama meaning" traces back to "beautiful lady" - whether it's Keats' fatal muse or Esmeralda (Belle the Hunchback) dancing in the Paris streets
• Disney's Bells of Notre Dame song actually toned down the real bells' earth-shaking power

P.S. That "sans merci" in the title? Means "without mercy." Consider yourself warned.
