Sic transit gloria mundi
For us ze war is over by tea time, ja - Times Online
THEY are on the front line of the war on terror, but German pilots facing the Taliban are insisting they stop at tea time every day to comply with health and safety regulations.
Today's Lesson is taken from The Second Book of Samuel, Chapter One Verses 19 - 27:
1:19 .... how are the mighty fallen!
1:20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
.....
1:27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
