"IN EVERY HOUR OF HER GLORIOUS HISTORY ROME HAS CARRIED OUT HER MISSION OF CIVILISATION."
"It's a joke a joke all a joke!"
"Wy wy wy wy?" This little question had a stubborn and heartrending sound. It recalled the voices of abandoned kittens, of donkeys blindfolded at the mill, of lambs loaded on a wagon for the Easter festivities. It was never known if all these anonymous and unanswered "wys" reached some destination, perhaps an invulnerable ear beyond all earthly places.
