✨Les nuages s’en vont courir les mondes
Quand irons-nous
Courir aussi tous deux les grèves blondes
Puis à genoux
Prier devant la vaste mer qui tremble

[When] I think of the uncertainty and transitoriness of human life and its occupations, when I consider its fleeting prospects and its fluctuating principles, how desirous am I to crowd into it's sphere as much usefulness as possible.

HMS Tiger: the most heavily armoured battlecruiser of the RN at the start of the WWI, though in the Battle of Dogger Bank (early 1915) she was still shaking down and did not perform well. Later at Jutland she was only lightly damaged despite suffering numerous hits.

“Every new idea has something of the pain & peril of childbirth about it; ideas are just as mortal & just as immortal as organised beings are.” Samuel Butler (1835-1902), UK writer. Image of an 8 Hour Day procession in Bundaberg, Queensland, in 1898. An idea that became immortal.

My next attempt (if I should write more) will be a drama, in the composition of which I shall attend to the advice of my critics[.] [...] I could be content either with the Hell or the Paradise of poetry; but the torments of its purgatory vex me

In the Conservative Party, we have no truck with outmoded Marxist doctrine about class warfare. For us, it is not who you are, who your family is or where you come from that matters. It is what you are and what you can do for our country that counts. That is our vision.

Les fées qui sont venues
autour de vos berceaux
les fées étaient payées
par les gens du château
elles vous ont dit l'avenir
et il n'était pas beau
Vous vivrez malheureuses
et vous aurez beaucoup d'enfants
beaucoup d'enfants
qui vivront malheureux
et qui auront beaucoup d'enfants

The 480 BCE Battle of Salamis is one of the most important battles in human history. The Greek naval victory over a much larger Persian-led fleet helped halt a Persian conquest of Greece, enabling a flourishing of Greek culture that was the eventual basis of Western civilization.

[Letters of P. B. Shelley @ShelleyLetters]

The truth is, that the seclusion of my habits has confined me so much within the circle of my own thoughts, that I have formed to myself a very different measure of approbation or disapprobation for actions than that which is in use among mankind

Nazism (national Socialism) and communism (international socialism) were but two sides of the same coin.

The Byzantine Empire’s first female ruler, between 797 and 802, Irene of Athens’ (752-803), blinded her son to secure the throne. A trail blazer in nearly every sphere, she abolished iconoclasm, disbanded the elite soldiery and preferred to sue for peace rather than make war.
