Oh Paris. So sorry. Stay strong.

Guide-moi plus avant !
La nuit est sombre, et je suis loin de ma demeure,
Guide-moi plus avant !
Veille sur ma démarche : que m’importe de voir
Le lointain horizon ? Un seul pas me suffit.
Je ne, t’ai pas toujours priée, comme aujourd’hui,
D’être ainsi, Toi, mon Guide.
J’aimais alors choisir et connaître ma route,
Désormais, sois mon Guide !
J’aimais l’éclat du jour ; en dépit de mes craintes,
L’orgueil réglait mes voies : Oublie tout ce passé.
Trop longtemps, j’en suis sûr, m’a béni Ta puissance
Pour n’être plus mon Guide,
Parmi lande et marais, et rocher et torrent,
Tant que dure la nuit.
Et avec le matin me souriront ces anges
Que j’ai toujours aimés et qu’un temps je perdis.

Je suis Charlie!
Allons enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides
L'opprobre de tous les partis
Tremblez! vos projets parricides
Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix!
Tout est soldat pour vous combattre
S'ils tombent, nos jeunes héros
La France en produit de nouveaux,
Contre vous tout prêts à se battre.
Liberté de presse!
Égalité. La libre communication des pensées et des opinions est un des droits les plus précieux de l'homme ; tout citoyen peut donc parler, écrire, imprimer librement, sauf à répondre de l'abus de cette liberté dans les cas déterminés par la loi.

Fraternité avec nos Amis les Francais!
Au revoir mon Ami Georges et à tous les camarades tombés pour la Liberté!!!
All humans are equal. All. Not just your folks and people you like. And if you don't believe in that, then don't call yourself a "Human Rights" activist.
Si fora de veritat???
drets constitucionals, drets humans, drets del xiquet...
I'm Charlie, Son Charlie, 是查理, チャーリーです, είναι Charlie, são Charlie, являются Чарли, sind Charlie
...Chi song'io
Ce cammine 'mmiezo 'a via
Parlanno 'e libertà...
This is also part of the work that I have in a Member's show of the Petersburg Area Art League entitle Water Garden Music. This is an update of an earlier posting on this Photostream. I use this particular title for the posting today, July 14th, for Bastille Day.

As the (almost) silent protest fills not only Place de la Republique, but almost all of Paris, I remember we were here 5 months ago, and could not have anticipated what happened in Paris these last few days and today, as I upload this image.
JE SUIS CHARLIE
From Wikipedia:
The location of the Place corresponds to the bastion of the gate of the Temple in the wall of Charles V (raised between 1356 and 1383). Decorated in 1811 with a fountain called the Château-d'Eau, designed by Pierre-Simon Girard, it took its current shape under the Second French Empire as part of Baron Hausmann's city renovation scheme. Most of the theatres of boulevard du Temple were demolished for this project.
The "caserne" du Prince Eugène, a military barracks later named the caserne du Château d'Eau, then the caserne Vérines, was erected by Degrove on this site, in 1854, to replace the former summer exhibition of Wauxhall and the famous diorama where Daguerre, one of the inventors of the photograph, had given his fifteen-minute demonstrations. Built with the foresight to house 3200 men, it has, since 1947, housed the French Republican Guard.
Gabriel Davioud, Paris's official city architect, added to the square, building the Magasins réunis along its whole north side in 1866. He also built a second fountain, one decorated with bronze lions. (Girard's fountain was judged insufficient for the site, but it was salvaged and re-erected in 1867 in the market of La Villette).
In 1879, a competition, to design a great monument devoted to the newly-proclaimed Third Republic, was won by the Morice brothers, Léopold Morice for the statuary and relief-panels of historic scenes, and his architect brother Charles Morice for the base. Two inauguration ceremonies took place, the first on 14 July 1880 with a gypsum model, and the second on 14 July 1883 with the final version in bronze.
In December 2008 the city of Paris organized a consultation to renovate the Place, and early works begin in July 2011. The goal was to rededicate the public space to pedestrians and cyclists. In this aim, the east side, one-way boulevard of the Place was pedestrianized and the west side of the boulevard become two-ways. Another purpose was to make the site more attractive for shopping users and for department stores.
In January 2015, following the Charlie Hebdo shooting, crowds gathered in the place to express solidarity with the victims.
"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Dedicated to my french fellow friends; I am deeply sorry for what's happened. My sincerest condolences to all the families of the victims.
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité

The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.
The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
Je suis Paris!
Encore une fois. Nous sommes un seul peuple, nous sommes dans un monde.
Reposting this one today in solidarity with the people of Paris in this difficult time. This one hits me particularly close to home because of my own familiarity with the city, a place I have lived in in the past, and which I have continued to visit since. I have eaten in restaurants like these, walked these streets, and even seen concerts in the Bataclan itself. I know that tragedies happen all over the world every day, but when something touches so closely on the familiar – particularly in this great city that has such history (howsoever troubled and complex) in inspiring humankind towards freedom, beauty, and greater things – it amplifies and underlines the tragedy, painting everything with that melancholic brush.
Here's what I wrote when I first posted this image of mine, back on 14 July 2012, still eerily fitting on this particular day:
"Bonne Fête Nationale, tout le monde! Happy Bastille Day, everyone! Here's a little tricolore triptych I put together in honor of the occasion.
Bastille Day is the name given in English-speaking countries to the French National Day, which is celebrated on the 14th of July each year. In France, it is formally called La Fête Nationale (The National Celebration) and commonly Le quatorze juillet (the fourteenth of July). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution. Festivities and official ceremonies are held all over France. The oldest and largest regular military parade in Europe is held on the morning of 14 July, on the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris in front of the President of the Republic, French officials and foreign guests.
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica (French: Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, pronounced [sakʁe kœʁ]), is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark, the basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. Sacré-Cœur is a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the supposed excesses of the Second Empire and socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighborhood, and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular vision of a loving and sympathetic Christ. The Sacré-Cœur Basilica was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and was finished in 1914. It was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919. The inspiration for Sacré Cœur's design originated in the wake of the division in French society that arose in the decades following the French Revolution, between devout Catholics and legitimist royalists on one side, and democrats, secularists, socialists and radicals on the other. This schism became particularly pronounced after the Franco-Prussian War and the ensuing uprising of the Paris Commune of 1870-71. [from Wikipedia]
So my image is a conscious paean to both the revolutionary spirit and the rights of man on the one hand, and to national and international renewal in the wake of such struggles on the other. Here's to liberté, égalité, et fraternité in today's world -- preferably without the same levels of bloodshed the world has so often seen."
