On This Day In History
1792: Monarchy abolished in France

Quote Of The Day
"Europeans are forever the offspring of Machiavelli, trapped in a historical rollercoaster that can bring us a monarchy-toppling French Revolution and then a few years later Napoleon Bonaparte as emperor."
(Loretta Napoleoni)

Indeed, Europe is rather like a Violent Playground with all its ups and downs, rounds and rounds and toings and froings. 

Thank you to a particularly talented young artist in my class for this pointillist rendering of our school playground.
