Lessons of History

No sooner were the walls of the city demolished than the lurking enemies at its gates appeared!*







(C) Demetrios Trifiatis
         24 June 2016


*" Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it" Epimenides, Greek philosopher, seventh century BC. 
Written in connection to Great Britain's decision to leave the European Union.

That says something. Thank you !
