Wow....love everything about this piece

Think my crowd must have crossed with Steven's from Normandy... but the West Country is about as far as they got! Can vouch for a bit of the Gallic temperament myself, comme ci comme ca, et la passion enflammee, mais... as you know, the English and French are politically uncomfortable bedfellows - what with the British phlegm and the French fire. So, what with the French also being the Freethinkers of the world, that makes for a hairy and volatile society. I haven't seen pictures, but, reading this, I don't need to. What a day to acknowledge, too, that history does indeed repeat itself! And, in the corridors of power, at Versailles or wherever, guess it will all be handled with the usual Gallic shrug. Strongly imagist and solid write, dear Felix. TY Kate xx Big hug - hope heart's strong and pumping! :))

Yes... sad, indeed, when History is not learned and thus, does not teach. Our failure, really, as makers (and yet students) of History.
Our greater failure, as makers (and always students) of Now, before it becomes shameful History written upon pages of deliberate ignorance. And Paris burns, indeed, dear Felix... and so do many other cities, unseen... because mankind is deliberately blind.

Powerful write Felix!!

Not too sure what the history behind this is to be honest!!

Keep the love, faith and heath meters high My friend!!

Love Tinka

Absolutely right on ! You have put into vivid images what we all see and feel. Why is Paris burning. Great write. :-) shoma

Sorry but England laughs..France the most dangerous country on Earth.
Point fingers. Yet are bloody cowards. Cival war is soon.....

very good write

France whose leader is so quick to point out the flaws in our country didn't take a good enough look at his own countries problems.
