The Remains of the Day

"For a day can bring all mortal greatness low..."
Sophocles
Ajax


The day is March 13, 2013 -- its remains could be seen in this striking picture of St. Peter's Square in the General Audience of December 2, 2015, now a recurring sight, as mentioned by Camillo Langone in his article for Il Foglio just published by us below. How fickle are the multitudes, how untrustworthy are the crowds!... Even when one does everything to please them! Ungrateful plebs!
